About Jaffna

Serving as the cultural capital of Sri Lanka’s Tamil community, Jaffna lies on the island’s far northern tip, just across Palk Strait from India. Largely inaccessible during the Civil War years, it’s now opened its doors to visitors, with vibrant temples and a rich colonial history to discover.

Things to do in Jaffna

Marvel at the ornate gopuram tower of the Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, which is one of the most impressive Hindu temples in Sri Lanka. Surrounded by red-and-white striped walls, the sprawling complex features numerous shrines, golden arch-lined corridors and a picturesque courtyard centred around a large tank. Coincide your visit with one of the daily pujas or attend the annual Nallur Festival, which sees sarong-clad men hauling a huge chariot through the surrounding streets.

Delve into the history of the region at the Jaffna Archaeological Museum, where exhibits range from ancient ceramic pieces to colonial-era Dutch cannons. In addition to its Buddhist and Hindu religious artefacts, a highlight of the museum’s collection is its findings from the archaeological excavations at nearby Kandarodai.

One of the city’s most striking landmarks is the Jaffna Public Library, where its whitewashed exterior is surrounded by lush gardens. Overlooking Palk Strait is the Jaffna Fort, which was built by the Portuguese in the 17th century. Later occupied by the Dutch and the British, it’s now garrisoned by the Sri Lankan Army, with its ramparts a popular spot to watch the sunset each evening.
