The Northern Soul

Duration8 Days
PricingTailored quotation

The North is the journey we recommend to travellers who believe they have seen the island. A Dravidian world of temple towers and palmyrah plains, of Delft’s wild ponies on coral flats, and of a crab curry so celebrated the recipe is guarded like a relic.

We travel with the scholars, matriarchs and boatmen who belong to the peninsula. You will not meet another itinerary here.

The Movements

Days 1–3

Jaffna & Nallur

A restored colonial residence; the great gopuram at drum hour with a Saiva scholar; the library, risen from its ashes.

Days 4–5

Delft & the Islands

Private boat to the coral island — wild ponies, a Dutch fort of living stone, lagoon prawns at a shore table.

Days 6–8

The Crab Table & the Vanni

The guarded family recipe, served by its guardians; south through the Vanni with those rebuilding it.
