About
Jaffna & the Northern Peninsula
At the island's northern tip, Jaffna is a proud, culturally distinct city of vibrant Hindu kovils, Dutch colonial history and a cuisine all its own. Discover the towering Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil, the star-shaped Jaffna Fort, palm-fringed Casuarina Beach and boat trips to the sacred and wild offshore islands.
