    Sunrise to Sunset in Jaffna is the Honeymoon Guides’ curated itinerary of the best day out in Jaffna. Sri Lanka’s North is often overlooked as a romantic destination. Those venturing to the north will find an authentic, exciting, and colourful mix of Hindu and Buddhist temples, secluded beaches, delicious ethnic food, and bustling markets. Couples will find the vibe and seclusion of the North, along with its cultural mix, appealing and enchanting.

    The Sacred Nainativu (Nagadeepa) Island

    Start your Jaffna tour with a visit to the island of Nagadeepa. A 4 square km island packs a punch of cultural highlights in one island. The visit is a proper cultural induction for Jaffna, starting with a ferry ride with locals.

    Highlights

    Grand and Golden

    In Jaffna Town, visit the city’s pinnacle, the Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil. The Kovil is famous for hosting the longest festival in Sri Lanka, the Nallur festival, which lasts 25 days in August. Dedicated to Lord Murugan, the Hindu God of War, Love, and Beauty, this is an exquisite piece of Dravidian architecture.

    Highlights

    The Jaffna Market

    Enter a world of colour at the bustling Jaffna market. Filled with all sorts of assortments, food and specialities only found in the North, the market is a bustling cultural immersion.

    Highlights

    Explore the Jaffna Fort

    First built by the Portuguese around 1625 A.D., it became the last bastion to fall to the Dutch invaders, who captured and extensively renovated the fort. After 400 years, it is one of Asia’s greatest Dutch Forts.

    Highlights

    A Sunset at Charty Beach

    We saved the best highlight for last! Charty Beach on Kayts Island is a shallow, peaceful beach with soft waves and a slow pace. It is a secluded haven of soft white sand and shallow warm waters lined with palm and coconut trees, perfect for a sunset swim and stroll.

    A Rooftop cocktail and Romantic Dinner

    Sit at a rooftop bar and enjoy the clear northern skies with a cool beer and an ethnic northern seafood delicacy. Don’t leave Jaffna without trying their very own Odiyal Kool, an aromatic and flavourful seafood broth only found in Jaffna, Jaffna Crab Curry, or Mutton curry.
