Jaffna District occupies the far north of Sri Lanka and is known for its unique Tamil culture, historic temples, coastal scenery and islands. Travellers can explore Jaffna city, forts, religious sites and local food while discovering a region that feels very different from the island’s central and southern tourist areas. The district includes Jaffna city, Point Pedro, Keerimalai and a network of islands reached by road and ferry. Nainativu and Delft are popular excursions, while local temples, lagoons, palmyrah landscapes and northern cuisine give the area a character that is noticeably different from the rest of Sri Lanka.
