Jaffna is quite different in comparison to the rest of Sri Lanka in regards to its food, religion and language. It’s a great place to delve into the Tamil culture and ancient sights in an area many tourists don’t venture to.
The northern peninsula has very modest infrastructure outside of Jaffna town.It has opened his doors to tourism in 2009. The city has a lot of influence from India, you can see this on the streets and in their food which is different from central or south Sri Lanka. It is a good off the beaten path visit for 2 to 3 days but remembers you need some extra time on your Sri Lanka route since it’s a little dislocated from the usual tourist spots.
