1. It’s very common to get bad tummies when you visit Jaffna. We strongly advise you to have water that has been properly disinfected for drinking and to avoid street food and drinks. It’s also best not to consume prawns and Palmyrah toddy together as it’s known as the main cause for tummy upsets.
2.Almost all the people in the region have a sad story to tell as a result of the 30 years of civil war. Hence, it’s advisable not to discuss politics / religion or language differences with common people when you visit the state as tourists.
3.Removing shoes / hats / sunglasses when entering religious sites is a norm. Bathing clothes or a pair of shorts (for ladies) would be ideal even when bathing in the sea.
4.Try to stay indoors during day time and start touring in the evenings to avoid exposure to excessive sunlight.
5.Support Sri Lankan Army at all times as there can be rapid rounds of security check-ups taking place in the area to ensure the safety of the civilians.
6. Must Try Food - Jaffna Mangoes / Jaffna Grapes / Dry chilies soaked in curd / Palmyrah toddy / Jaffna Crab curry / Jaffna Prawn curry / Chicken Kolambu / Odiyal Kool / Rio Ice cream / murukku
7. Where to Stay in Jaffna- Fort Hammenheil Resort / Jaffna Heritage Hotel / Green Grass hotel
