Tourist attractive place. Very nice to see this tree.
An offbeat attraction, this ancient baobab tree was allegedly planted by Arab traders. It has a circumference of 20m and is believed to be over 700 years old. In Africa the baobab is sometimes called the upside-down tree (because its branches look like roots); locals in Mannar refer to it as the ali gaha (elephant tree) since its tough, gnarled bark resembles the skin of an elephant. It's 1.2km northeast of the town centre.
If you are traveling mannar i suggest everyone should visit this place to look at this giant tree.. and we were lucky that we met an amazing person who told us the story behind this tree..I hope you too will get that chance if you visit this place.
Baobab tree situated in Mannar island, is a key place of interest in the area. It is just a few hundred meters away from the city center, hence a place not to be missed. The Baobab tree is quite old and has a large perimeter.
Baobab tree in Mannar. Just a short distance from town, this tree has to be seen to be believed, it is huge. ..
This is very old and giant tree.The baobab tree belongs to crop family of Pompagasege. It should be over 500 years old and situated in Pallimunai in Mannar District.A tourist attraction here.There is a christian statue infront of the tree.There is a similar tree in Delft Island , Jafna.
