SRI LANKA | Nobody Visits This City 🇱🇰

[@Davud_Akh]

Have you ever been to Jaffna? What do you think about the first video from northern tip of Sri Lanka? 🇱🇰

[@chembits9115]

Yep, I'm from jaffna bro.. Welcome to jaffna have a nice journey ❤️❤️.. Its not a restricted place bro.. But far away from Colombo that's the issue..you will have a great experience bro cheers 🙏🙏

[@adshayanrajendran983]

I'm in Jaffna I'm regularly watching your videos Enjoy Jaffna 😍🔥 If you have time let's meet one day I'm very eager to see you

[@chamilakarunarathna6408]

Interesting video...

[@surendranr1205]

I will list a few things that are worth trying...in Jaffna - 'Rio' Icecream, 'Palm drink' called (Nungu) is like king coconut that you had in the market and visit Nallur Kovil, Jaffna Library, Jaffna fort if possible visit Casuarina Beach.....

[@migistore4349]

I'm from Colombo. I also have visited jaffna so many times. 1kg of grapes for Rs 800 is very good local price. Love you jaffna guys!

@@joinepicai please read my comment again. I said "most". Before the economic protests , how many army check points do cross a day? As a Tamil , I cross 15. At some of them I feel like I'm at customs in a foreign country. I need to justify why I need to go to the other town.

[@joinepicai]

[@PrincessNicole14an]

Thanks for the amazing video. I've never been to Jaffna. Sri Lanka had civil war for 33 years. Mainly in Jaffna, Trinco, Baticalo areas. So, many of the adults didn't have much time to study English in schools or get used to the language. Otherwise English is 2nd language that we have to study. Now the children can study properly in schools without any disturbance of war. Nothern people suffered a lot because of war. This video made me so happy. Thank you. I wish I can visit there too.

[@myurenj4469]

They are still suffering. It's not war, it's genocide.

[@sachinrai5911]

I have never seen a traveller like you, so down to earth and so nice to people. Wondering local markets is the best way to explore rather than staying at big hotels or going to 5 star restaurants to eat food like other foreigner traveller's do. Really great man, i really enjoy your vlogs. Lots of love from India....

[@r.tmusicproduction6702]

Thanks Davud you visited Jaffna. It has nice culture , good foods and good people. I am still waiting to go to Jaffna. Enjoy your stay in Srilanka.

Davud since you said that you have extended visa before you leave you can get the experience of Sinhala and Tamil New year in Sri Lanka. Festival period 13-14 April. It's a big festival. If you find a local you can do a great vlog regarding new year and all the preparations for the new year

[@Davud_Akh]

Thank you so much! I keep it in mind in case I will still be here :)

It's been over 10 years since I last visited Jaffna (my one and only visit). Love the culture, atmosphere and the people there. Jaffna has the one of the best cuisines in the world. Hope you try the Jaffna crab curry, probably the best I've ever tasted in my life.

[@sweet-b6p]

Thanks - yes correct in 1954 the great actor Sivaji ganeshan visited from India to Jaffna he tasted the crab curry even his last days he remeber the taste he propaganda about Jaffna crab curry taste but Mr. Davud can not eat hot curry

David. You've been absolutely amazing. Hope you're still in Sri Lanka and having great time despite economic crisis in the country. Also my humble request to you is please ask your friends all across the world to visit Sri Lanka now. Its the best time for them to visit here.

[@ayanigavivekananthan1805]

Glad to see you went up North! I'm headed to Jaffna to see my family in April from Canada. It's nice to see how it looks after so long! Thank you! Side note: The guy who suggested you buy wine, said you were a good guy for not buying it lol

Hi we really enjoy watching your videos you made from Sri Lanka. We are from Canada and if you get a chance you should visit Trincomalee in Sri Lanka. Good luck on all your adventures.

[@lisao1677]

I started to watch your videos just yesterday 07/23/2024. I don't usually watch people but only for heathy items to eat and what not to eat as Im dealing with Kidney Didease currently.I came across your site. I really enjoy watching your travels as I have never been out of the US. I just learned of the Jack fruit. I have never heard of this fruit before. You are helping me understand different cultures and other foods that are out in the world. I find this all to be fascinating and educational. I also love how the children seem to follow you. Even tho there can be loud, which I agree lol. They are so precious and love the way you are so kind to them and everyone. Its been a pleasure to watch all of your videos. Its is a great way to distract from the everyday work and daily life distractions. We all can go on vacations with you lol. I cant seem to stop watching them now lol. Great job keep them coming!

[@idiot7969]

Include following less travelled areas. 1. Kokkuthoduvai and beach near it ( basically noone lives there) - Mullaithivu district 2. Mannar to Jaffna through Pooneryn, sangupitti bridge ( it has amazing view on the way) - best view during winter season. Go in a private vehicle, so you can stop in the middle and explore. 3. Puttalam to Mannar through wilpathu jungle (less travelled by locals too). You can spot a few wild animals on the way. 4. Thalai Mannar beach areas 5. Eastern coast villages between Trincomalee and batticalo. Different vibes

[@shancharan7834]

[@prcs4357]

In Jaffna, you don't find many foreigners. That's why English is not commonly spoken or understood among the local vendors. Jaffna hasn't seen development since the 1970s up until 2009 because of the bloody civil war. Very beautiful, friendly, and proud people. I think things will get better in the future.

I visited Jaffna in Feb 2022. Very different to Colombo. I was interested in the history of the tragic civil war and wanted to visit some significant sites, eg Hindu Temple, Jaffna Library (closed because of Covid) and the damaged Portuguese Fort. The centre, though fascinating, was noticeably more run down than centres I saw in other parts of Sri Lanka. There is still catching up to do. Many cows wandering the road, lots of Hindu temples (as well as a scattering of other religions) and some nice (if neglected) beaches on the peninsula. People hospitable, like all Sri Lankans. I went by train which took 6.5 hours but I'm glad I made the effort.

[@shakyamuhandiram9479]

Hello brother, it would be much easier to find coconut juice by calling them "King Coconut" or in sinhala "thabili" because in Sri Lanka Coconut we usually called are used for cooking, which does not have much juice and its a different type of coconut. I think you should try 'Rio' Ice Cream which is famous in Jaffna and so tasty. Hope you enjoy Jaffana and Stay Safe. Much Love from 🇱🇰 ☮️

Do not visit if you, your family member or friend LGBTIQ Gay as this East is more like muslim. Bit of extreamist there. Better to stay on regular Sri Lankan side West, South, Central and North Central as mkat of them are not so religious etc.

[@thuluxa]

Thank you for visiting this part of Sri Lanka. Jaffna is often ignored by many tourists. It may not be the most scenic part of the country but it exposes you to the great tamil culture. While you're there make sure you visit the famous temples and check out the historic sites. Also keep in mind the people from this part of the country have experienced the worst of the war. So be extra kind to them (I know i don't need to remind you that) lol Ps. Make sure to visit Rio ice-cream near Nallur temple.

[@pambromley7481]

The Hindu temple is awesome. Important to visit the Fort if you want to try to understand the brutality suffered by Tamils during the Civil War. Take a walk around and you can still see abandoned, pock marked buildings which were abandoned by fleeing residents.

Other cities too but it’s very special in Jaffna. I’m a Sri Lankan. I visited Azerbaijan and Georgia, while I was working in UAE. But never been to Jaffna. It’s very interesting.
