Ramayana tour from India overview
Flying in from India for a pilgrimage? This private Ramayana tour in Sri Lanka from India starts at Colombo airport and is planned for families and temple groups: pure vegetarian and Indian meals on request, comfortable hotels and easy days with time for every puja. Your driver meets you on arrival and stays with you until your flight home.
It is one of our Ramayana tours in Sri Lanka, finishing at the Munneswaram and Manavari temples close to the airport, so your last day is short and relaxed.

Before you book
Which flights from India go to Colombo?
There are direct flights to Colombo from many Indian cities, including Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kochi and Tiruchirappalli. Flights from South India are short, so you can start touring on the day you land.
Do Indian travellers need a visa for Sri Lanka?
Entry rules for Indian passport holders have changed in recent years, so check the official Sri Lanka ETA website before you travel and apply online if required.
Can we get vegetarian and Indian food?
Yes. We choose hotels and stops where pure vegetarian and Indian meals are easy to find; just tell us your preferences.
What is the price for this 6-day Ramayana tour?
We send a personalised quote, because the price depends on your hotels, the vehicle and the size of your group. Your private car or van, English-speaking driver and five nights’ hotels with breakfast are included; temple offerings and entrance tickets are paid separately.
Can you arrange a larger group or family?
Yes. We arrange vans for up to seven people, and more vehicles for bigger family or temple groups.
