ලංකාවේ Beach Camping පාරාදීසය Baththalangunduwa | බත්තලංගුණ්ඩුව යනවනම් මේ දේවල් දැනගෙන යන්න | Travel Guide Video

The island of Baththalangunduwa is located 20 nautical miles or 38 kilometers off the coast of Kalpitiya. One of the few inhabited islands off the coast of Kalpitiya, it is a tiny strip of land of about five square kilometers. Although the island was formerly a flourishing fishing community, it has recently gained popularity as a getaway for tourists seeking off-the-beaten-path adventure.

The ferry that travels to the island every day save on Sundays may be found in Kalpitiya, where the voyage to Baththalangunduwa begins. Although local fishermen and boat owners claim that Puttalam is the more direct route to the island, only vessels departing from Kalpitiya are authorized to get there.

Around Rs.10 per person is required to enter the Kalpitiya jetty area, and an additional Rs.50 is required to park a car there. Travelers can then make their way to the ferry boat headed for Baththalangunduwa by navigating the busy jetty. The three-hour boat ride to the island departs at 8.30am as names and identification numbers of passengers are hastily jotted down and coast guard orders to don safety jackets are obeyed by the passengers.

Baththalangunduwa Island's greatest width, measured from east to west, ranges between 680 and 700 meters, and its length from south to north is around 16.0 kilometers. To the north of Puttalam Lagoon, it is one of the few inhabited islands.

The island lacks paved or gravel roadways, but instead features a maze of trails made of thin sand thatch and flanked with homes. On the center and northern parts of the island, you may find mangrove areas, sand dunes, scrub vegetation, and sandy beaches. A few kilometers to the west and northwest of the island lies Bar Reef, a marine sanctuary, and the offshore area known as Pearl Banks is a popular place to watch marine animals including dolphins, whales, dugongs, and porpoises. The east side of the island is bordered by Portuguese Bay, which has a healthy seagrass cover.
