In the footsteps of Rama
Ramayana Tour Package Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is Lanka of the Ramayana, and many places across the island are linked by tradition with the epic: the temples where Rama prayed to Shiva, the hills where Sita waited in Ashok Vatika, the caves and waterfalls named after Ravana and the places Hanuman is said to have touched on his journey. Our Ramayana tours in Sri Lanka visit these sites in a comfortable, private trip, with your own air-conditioned car and an English-speaking driver from the moment you land.
