Baobab Tree Pallimunai

About

Nestled in the historic town of Mannar, Sri Lanka, stands an awe-inspiring natural wonder – the Baobab Tree. Legend has it that this ancient Baobab was planted by Arabian traders during their visit to the island back in 1477. It’s often referred to as the "Upside-Down Tree" due to its branches, which bear an uncanny resemblance to roots, defying gravity in their growth. Visiting this remarkable tree is like taking a step back in time, where the whispers of Arabian traders and the echoes of ancient tales come to life. To truly appreciate the beauty of this ancient giant, plan your visit between December and February or from July to September when the weather is most inviting. It's a testimony to the island's rich history, where centuries-old traditions and legends intertwine with nature's remarkable creations.
