Read moreYou can't miss this impressive baobab located east of the market. It is the pride of the village and everyone will tell you about it. Despite the success of this tree, you should know that there are several others on the road leading to Talaimannar and that there are sixty of them between Mannar and Jaffna. The one in front of you is estimated to be 700 years old, measuring 19.51 m in circumference and 7.5 m in height. It is believed that baobabs were introduced by Arab traders and that their leaves were used as fodder for camels.
