We will enjoy a simple vegetarian lunch on our way and visit a historical temple. Then, we will visit a small-scale village farmhouse where they still use most of the traditional farming methods and age-old farming tools. Farming in this harsh, dry area is tough, but traditional farmers grow vegetables like carrots, potatoes, onions, and tobacco successfully.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-outline-primary btn-show-read-more\" href=\"#read-more\" role=\"button\"> Read More <\/a>\r\n\t<div class=\"collapse collapse-read-more\" id=\"collapse_rm\">\r\n\t\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The culmination of the tour will be the 17th-century Jaffna Portuguese Fort, where we will go in time for a breathtaking sunset.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will stop for refreshments and snacks at different places, trying out many local delicacies as well as some interesting fusion cooking.
