Manipay to Puththur via Kopay, Jaffna, Sri Lanka.

Road to Kopay from Manipay

Banana plantation

Somaskanda College, Puththur


The area covered is famous for its red fertile soil. Careful nurturing of the soil with water drawn from underground cisterns has built a thriving agricultural community here. Organic farming with harvested leaves buried under the soil and using cow-dung as manure was the way of life till urea and allied artificial fertilizer came on the scene.

The road to Kopay from Kaithady
The A9 Highway reaches Kaithady junction after Chavakachchery. Continuing on the A9 Highway leads to Jaffna. The turnoff to Kopay, Maruthanaamadam and Manipay is the road I took.
