A Full Day Historical and Cultural Adventure Beyond the City Limits.
This hosted experience takes you on a journey beyond the city of Jaffna, the island’s northernmost region known for its rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.
Our northern peninsula excursion begins with a visit to Point Pedro and then to Keerimalai, an ancient holy spring, followed by Dambakola Patuna and the pristine Casuarina. We will enjoy a simple vegetarian lunch on our way and visit a historical temple. Then, we will visit a small-scale village farmhouse where they still use most of the traditional farming methods and age-old farming tools. Farming in this harsh, dry area is tough, but traditional farmers grow vegetables like carrots, potatoes, onions, and tobacco successfully.
