Jaffna is a city located on the northern tip of Sri Lanka. It opened its doors to tourism in 2009. The city has a lot of influence from India, which you can see on the streets, and in their food, which is different from central or south Sri Lanka. It is a good off-the-beaten path visit for 2 to 3 days but remember you need some extra time on your Sri Lanka route as it’s a little dislocated from the usual tourist spots.
