Poobalasingam Book Shop

4.0(20 reviews)

About

In Sri Lanka, Poobalasingam Book Shop is a local business. Its address places it in Jaffna, in the far north of the island.

First-time visitors can expect a bookshop open Mo-Sa 08:00-18:00, with Sundays closed. A 4 out of 5 average from 20 reviews reflects a modest but steady following. Two photographs accompany the listing, showing the shop and its stock. Jaffna sits well away from the southern resort towns, so reaching it from Colombo, Galle, Kandy or Negombo takes a longer journey across the island.

Jaffna occupies the northern tip of Sri Lanka, a position that makes it a distinct base compared with the coastal resorts of the south and west. Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon until 1972 and gained independence in 1948, and the ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa lie in the island's north-central plains. The central hill country runs cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, while blue whales and dolphins are seen off the south coast and sea turtles nest on several beaches.
