Jaffna

At the northern tip of Sri Lanka, Jaffna stands as a proud symbol of resilience, faith, and culture. The city is home to historic sites such as Jaffna Fort, built by the Portuguese in the 17th century, and the Jaffna Public Library, a treasured landmark of Tamil heritage.
Visitors can experience authentic northern Sri Lankan culture through its cuisine — especially dishes made with palmyra fruit, crab curry, and Jaffna dosai. The tranquil Casuarina Beach and Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil, with its golden gopuram, offer both spiritual serenity and scenic beauty.
Jaffna provides a unique perspective on Sri Lanka — a place where Indian and Sri Lankan influences merge, creating a region full of color, warmth, and cultural pride.
