Jaffna is famous for its unique sweet treats. You absolutely must try the local Rio Ice Cream, which is a legendary parlor serving incredibly vibrant and uniquely flavored sundaes.

Stop by any local bakery or roadside stall and ask for Jaffna sweets like Kavum and freshly made Jaggery. The palmyra palm sugar used in the north gives the sweets a distinct, rich flavor.

Do not miss out on tasting the sweet, cooling local drink called Nelli Crush, made from indigenous gooseberries. It is the perfect refreshing treat after exploring the hot temples.
