Jaffna City Tour
Full day
Included with the package
Until recently this city has been hard to get to for foreigners, given the recent civil war, but is now opening up as a perfect destination for travellers wanting to get off the beaten track. We’ll take you on a discovery tour and explain the fascinating history of this key strategic northern city. A city brimming with remnants of history, Jaffna was hotly contested by numerous powers. As the largest northern city and just across the narrow sea to India, this city was fought over by the Indians, Muslims, Portuguese, Dutch, English, Tamil Tigers, the Sri Lankan Army and various medieval kingdoms.
