Trincomalee ringkonna kohta

Trincomalee on sadamalinn Sri Lanka idarannikul. Trincomalee lahe sadam on tuntud oma suuruse ja turvalisuse poolest; erinevalt kõigist teistest India mere sadadest on see ligipääsetav igat tüüpi alustele igasuguse ilmaga. Randasid kasutatakse surfamiseks, sukeldumiseks, kalastamiseks ja vaalavaatluseks. Linnas asub ka Sri Lanka suurim Hollandi kindlus. Seal asuvad Sri Lanka peamised mereväebaasid ja Sri Lanka õhujõudude baas.

Enamik tamiile ja singaliid usub, et see paik on neile püha ning nad on piirkonna põlisrahvas. Trincomalees ja selle ümbruses on nii hindu kui ka budismi ajaloolise tähtsusega paiku. Need paigad on pühad nii hindudele kui ka budistidele.

Aastatel 1988–2006 liideti provints ajutiselt Põhjaprovintsiga, moodustades Kirdeprovintsi. Provintsi pealinn on Trincomalee. Idaprovintsi rahvaarv oli 2007. aastal 1 460 939. Provints on Sri Lanka kõige mitmekesisem, nii etniliselt kui ka religioosselt.

Idaprovintsi pindala on 9996 ruutkilomeetrit (3859,5 ruutmiili). Provintsi ümbritsevad põhjas Põhjaprovints, idas Bengali laht, lõunas Lõunaprovints ning läänes Uva, Kesk- ja Põhja-Keskprovints. Provintsi rannikul domineerivad laguunid, millest suurimad on Batticaloa laguun, Kokkilai laguun, Upaari laguun ja Ullackalie laguun.
