Some thing about whale watching in Srilanka

Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 is one of the best whale watching destinations in the world. Here, you can not only see the largest creatures on the planet, the blue whales 🐋, but also encounter beautiful sea sprites such as orcas and dolphins 🐬. As sprites of the ocean, whales 🐳 typically live in deep waters, so venturing far from the coast into the open ocean is necessary to catch a glimpse of their grandeur. However, in Sri Lanka, due to the extremely narrow continental shelf, you can reach the deep-sea area, where whales 🐳 are known to frequent, just about 20 kilometers off the coast. Thanks to the smaller search area and the abundance of migrating whales here, many travelers each year chase the beautiful figures of whales 🐳 that pass through these waters. When is the best season for whale watching in Sri Lanka? There is a difference between the west and east coasts. 🌟West coast whale watching season: Generally, from November to March of the following year is the best whale watching season on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka. Mirissa, being close to the southernmost point of the Indian continent, has rich marine life in the nearby waters, with various species of whales migrating through and stopping to feed, making this area a world-famous spot for whale watching. 🌟East coast whale watching season: From about June to September, most whale species migrate northward with ocean currents, passing by Trincomalee, making it the best whale watching spot on the east coast of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. # whale watching#Sri lanka#trip diary#travel guide#Sri lanka travel# Mirissa# Mirissa Beach
