Jaffna
“Journey into the vibrant culture and timeless heritage of Jaffna.”
Jaffna is Sri Lanka’s northernmost peninsula city that had restricted travel for decades due to the civil war. Today, it is a major cultural attraction. Its Hindu tradition and Jaffna history and culture have given rise to some of the most vibrant monuments, temples, and historic sites. It is still catching on as a tourist destination, and due to this reason, Jaffna is a less crowded place. You are in for absolute amazement at how different it is to the rest of the country. Southern Indian traditions have placed a strong influence on its predominantly Tamil population. It is one of the most authentic places which has managed to preserve its identity despite the war that ravaged.
