⬡ Traveller Tips

Make the most of your Jaffna day

🌅

Start Early

Temples and the fort are stunning in the morning light — and much cooler. Aim to leave your hotel by 7AM for the best experience.

💵

Carry Cash

Most entrance fees are tiny ($1–3 USD) and paid in cash on site. ATMs are available in Jaffna city but not at remote spots.

👕

Dress Modestly

Temples require covered shoulders and legs. Our driver will advise you — or you can buy a sarong cheaply in the city market.

📸

Charge Your Phone

Every spot is a photo opportunity. Islands especially have no signal — download maps and charge up before you leave your hotel.
