Introducing Mannar

The only access to Mannar is by a 3km-long causeway. When the road is low in the water the journey feels like a Biblical miracle. Look left to spy the collapsed rail bridge on the horizon. The LTTE makes periodic attempts to blow up the causeway road bridge too, hoping to isolate Mannar Island – hence all the army checkpoints.
