Tyrannosaurus–Skull Peninsula Tour
15 Days | 14 Nights
This package seeks to enable the exploration of the Northern ‘Tyrannosaurus Head’ Peninsula, the environs & the distinct culture of the Dravidian Tamil society of the Island speaking one of the oldest languages originating from the Indus Valley. The peculiar, bizarre & distinctive lifestyle of the people in the Jaffna Peninsula & its vicinity south from there, which is intriguing to observe as the things that these people do are quite apart from those who live in the South. The life up north has been that way due to the distinct, arid nature, climate & the dark fertility of the soil of the region, which indicates that the crops are unusual & the food is quite different & incomparably delicious. It is also found that the preparation of the food is uncommon, extraordinary & startling in the North, so we’re delighted to offer this exceptional tour of attractions of Jaffna peninsula to you.
