Jaffna offers an inspiring combination of historical, cultural and geographical experiences across Sri Lanka’s northern peninsula. Many are the sites worth undertaking a journey along palmyrah-lined, winding roads to visit in this bastion of Hindu tradition, art and culture. The Dutch Fort is a landmark in this northern city and the restored Jaffna Public Library offers a treasure trove of knowledge. Tourists do have a wide choice of places of importance to visit and they should not miss out on any of them as it will prove to be a life-long experience!
During the months of November to March, Jaffna becomes a bird’s paradise. As the grip of winter close over the northern hemisphere, thousands of birds migrate to the warm coastal waters of Sri Lanka.
