Hi Rans
           I enjoy reading your trip reports,they are very informative and you always provide a route map and also on this report your postscript on road conditions are very helpful. Hope the bad roads would be repaired in the near future, with the ongoing development.
                     Thanks for sharing and best Regards.

Hi Rans,

A very good descriptive report.. Thanks for providing the maps as well. Have not been to Jaffna still. Must do one day when the exodus of travelers subsides somewhat.

Jayathu

PS: By the way, I noticed that we share the same home town (Kalutara) .

Hi Rans,
Thanks for the trip report and the photographs. They are very helpful as I will be going this Friday to Wilpattu and thereafter to Mannar.

Dear Rans
Yes it is a very descriptive report indeed and thank you for that. By the way can we proceed strait from Puttalam to Mannar through Wilpattu avoiding the D tour of Medawachchiya? Has onyone among us travelled on this road and reached Jaffna through the newly opened Singuppidy bridge?
