One Day Jaffna Tour Package

Highlights
This prominent Hindu temple, dedicated to Lord Murugan, is one of Sri Lanka's most significant religious sites. Originally established in the 10th century, it was destroyed during colonial times and later rebuilt. The temple is renowned for its Dravidian architecture, featuring towering gopurams (gateway towers) and intricate carvings. The annual Nallur Festival, held in July or August, attracts thousands of devotees and is marked by vibrant processions and traditional rituals.
Constructed by the Portuguese in 1618 and later expanded by the Dutch, Jaffna Fort stands as a testament to the region's colonial history. Despite damage sustained during the civil war, the fort's massive walls and bastions remain, offering panoramic views of the city and the surrounding lagoon
Accessible by ferry, Delft Island is known for its unique landscape, wild ponies, and remnants of colonial architecture, including a Dutch fort and ancient stupas. The island's coral walls and serene beaches provide a glimpse into a tranquil and less-explored part of Sri Lanka.
Once housing one of the largest collections in Asia, the Jaffna Public Library was tragically burned down in 1981, resulting in the loss of over 90,000 books. Rebuilt and reopened in 2003, the library now stands as a symbol of resilience and cultural pride, featuring classical architecture and serene gardens.
Jaffna's culinary scene is distinguished by its bold flavors and Tamil influences. Signature dishes include spicy crab curry, odiyal kool (a seafood stew thickened with palmyra root flour), and various preparations of dosai and idiyappam. Local eateries like Malayan Café and Rio Ice Cream are popular spots to savor these unique flavors.
