"Jaffna isn't my hometown. I got to know about Jaffna through word of mouth. Now, every time we visit the Nallur Temple, we also come here. It has become a habit."
A vibrant range

Rio Ice Cream, located near the infamous Nallur temple, is a popular spot to cool down with a scoop (or two!) of homemade ice cream. With temperatures ranging from 27°C to 35°C, the heat in Jaffna can be pretty intense, so Rio Ice Cream is a must-stop. People come here to split a banana split, shake a milkshake or munch on some rolls. With an extensive menu ranging three whole pages, this ice cream parlour is a favourite with locals and visitors alike and even has a branch in Colombo.
