Thondaimanaru Selva Sannithi Temple

A beachside suburb of Jaffna reachable by train or tuk-tuk. It has the port with the ferry to India, Sri Lanka's northernmost railway station, the freshwater Keerimalai springs (reportedly with healing powers but mostly used as a swimming hole) and the 1000-year old Keerimalai Naguleswaram Kovil. The beach here is very beautiful.

This building is the best-preserved part of the ruins of Jaffna's ancient royal palace. No signage or development but a cool place to check out

Beautiful and famous Hindu temple. Come at sunset when the orange coloured temple building is at its most vibrant. Photography is not allowed inside.
