With twenty war-torn years behind us, Sri Lanka is now able to promote new and exciting localities to both locals and foreigners alike. Smiling, hospitable Sri Lankan faces are no longer confined to those well-marketed Southern destinations but now Jaffna as well is opening its arms in a welcoming embrace to share enriching cultural nuances, awe-inspiring vistas and ever-friendly natives with the unknowing novices. Target Travels (Pvt) Ltd is offering an unique and unparalled package for those wishing to experience the true sights and sounds of a now peaceful Jaffna.

For those us whose curiosity has reached its threshold will overwhelmed by this reasonable yet impressive three-day stay in the Northern capital. Adventurers will leave Colombo on Friday morning and return Sunday afternoon for an action packed weekend in the sunny realms of Jaffna.

Would be archaeologists and history-buffs will enjoy locations such as Keerimalai, Sangamitta, Kayts, Nagadeepa which are on the tour map along with architectural marvels such as the Hindu Temples, Nallur Kovil, Kantadorai and Chavakachcheri and several other ruins including Jaffna's very own railway station and the V.V.T Kokilai Cemetery.

The highlight of this trip is the visit to the residence of LTTE leader Praphakaran in Point Pedro. This weekend adventure begins at the Ratmalana Airport, with transport provided by Target Travels to and from the Airport, and lands at the famous Palali Airport. Target Travels also provides full-board stay at some of Jaffna's renowned and popular hotels and inns.
