The stick fishermen of Sri Lanka are a unique and iconic sight that can be found along the southern coast of the country. These fishermen use a traditional method of fishing that involves balancing on a wooden pole, or stilt, that is planted in the shallow waters of the ocean.
With remarkable balance and skill, the fishermen patiently wait for their catch, often spending hours on the stilts. Once they have caught enough fish, they climb down from their poles and sell their fresh catch to local markets and restaurants.
Visitors to Sri Lanka can witness these stick fishermen in action, and even take part in the experience by trying their hand at balancing on the stilts themselves. This is a must-see attraction for those who want to experience the rich culture and traditions of Sri Lanka.
