Boating in Unnichai - Batticaloa

Let us guide you inland to explore the hidden rural villages of Batticaloa.

As you journey into the countryside, you’ll discover lush paddy fields, untamed wildlife, and secret ponds. Mighty rocks and cultivation areas await, each adding to the beauty of this untouched region. Along the way, villagers will welcome you into their homes. You’ll taste their home-cooked meals and learn about their way of life.

In the Boating in Unnichai tour, you’ll leave the coast behind and head into the heart of rural villages.

As you move inland, you’ll see farmers at work in the fields. Depending on the season, you may find golden paddy fields or vibrant vegetable gardens. You’ll also stop at a local Hindu temple to enjoy its peaceful atmosphere. Once you reach Unnichai, you can bathe, relax, or walk around the vast water tank. Buffaloes and birds will be your companions as you unwind.

After a delicious village lunch with a local family, you’ll board a traditional fishing boat. Local boatmen will guide you across the tank, offering a serene and beautiful view. The Boating in Unnichai experience is a perfect chance to embrace the simplicity of village life.
