Jaffna Town: Travel Video of Northern Tamil, Sri Lanka (யாழ்ப்பாணம்)

Visit: http://migrationology.com/ for more travel tips and street food!

Jaffna is the northern capital of the Tamil area of Sri Lanka. Not long ago it was the center of the Sri Lankan civil war, but today Jaffna remains safe to visit as a tourist.

Jaffna town (யாழ்ப்பாணம்) is full of rich Tamil culture, a great place to hit the streets are explore the local food and flavors of town.

During this Jaffna travel video I walk around on Beach Road, eat a delicious Sri Lankan food breakfast of paratha bread and pol sambol (coconut garnish), check out the Jaffna Fort, walk past countless old building ruins, take a chaotic walk straight through the center of Jaffna town, eat a sour Jaffna mango, visit Nallur Kovil Hindu Temple for a 4pm traditional ceremony, dine on traditional local style Tamil Jaffna food, and finally taste for the first time a cup of thick wood apple juice!

Jaffna town (யாழ்ப்பாணம்) is an amazing town with a rich history and a very interesting culture. There are many things to do in Jaffna and a lot of places to see.

I hope you enjoyed this Jaffna travel video! Thanks for watching!

All footage is from Jaffna Town, Northern Sri Lanka, taken during the month of October, 2011.

i was actually born in the States but my parents are Sri Lankan. im curious how you ended up going to SL, as not many American tourists visit Sri Lanka... usually more Brits, Germans, Eastern Europeans. and yeah i eat good Sri Lankan food here... my parents cook very good rice and curry. glad you enjoyed your visit

@migrationology I bet you LOVE travelling, wish I could do that. I've been to Thailand when I was 5 years old, I don't remember much but have a lot of photos. It looked like I had fun :)
