Following the footprints of buffaloes
Leaving Pottuvil if you take the road south to get to Arugam bay, surfers beach, you will go by a big lake which is the delta of Lake Karanda Oya. It forms a lake before dropping into the ocean. It is a good place to go to the early hours of the morning to see the birds. Also at night, if you're lucky, there are elephants. There are a couple of parks nearby, and sometimes the elephants go to them. We walk, not very comfortable because there is no well-laid paths and sometimes you find your feet in the mud. We followed in the footsteps of what I guess were cows or buffaloes, since they are heavier than us, so you do not sink.
It's a nice place, you can rent a boat with a guide, too.
