This package seeks to enable the exploration of the Northern ‘Dinosaur Head’ Peninsula, Jaffna, the environs & the distinct culture of the Dravidian Tamil society of this little Island. The peculiar, bizarre & distinctive lifestyle of the people in the Jaffna Peninsula & its vicinity south from there are included in this exercise, which is intriguing to observe as the things that these people do are quite apart from those who live in the South. Their life has been that way due to the distinct, arid nature, climate & the dark fertility of the soil of the region, which indicates that the food is quite different & incomparably delicious. It is also found that the preparation of the food is uncommon, extraordinary & startling.
