Jaffna
Jaffna is Sri Lanka's vibrant northern capital, rich in Tamil heritage and culture. From colourful Hindu kovils to palm-fringed islands connected by causeways, Jaffna offers a completely different experience from the south. The cuisine here — fiery crab curries, fresh seafood, and unique sweets — is reason enough to visit.
