Jaffna & the North
Off the Beaten Path
All but shut down to travel for years, the North is now ready to be explored. The going is
greatly improved, while seeing glimpses of war history is powerfully moving.
Religious Discoveries
Hindu gods and goddesses painted in exquisite riots of colour animate towering temple
gateways all over the North. Even better, though, are the friendly priests and devotees who
will welcome you to
puja
(prayer).
Jaffna's Coasts
Seemingly endless coastlines curl around the Jaffna region's mainland and islands. Coast
roads, causeways and wooden-boat rides to isolated islands are only second to the islands'
sublime beauty.
