Step into the pages of one of the world’s most revered epics with our Ramayana Trails tour package, tracing the legendary footsteps of Lord Rama, Sita, and Hanuman across the scenic landscapes of Sri Lanka. This spiritual and cultural journey connects myth with reality, offering devotees and curious travelers from Chennai a chance to explore ancient sites, breathtaking nature, and sacred temples linked to the Ramayana.
Sri Lanka, believed to be the kingdom of Ravana, plays a significant role in the Ramayana. As you journey across the island, you’ll discover locations where key events of the epic are said to have taken place — from Sita’s captivity and Hanuman’s leap to Ravana’s battle and final resting place. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a deep, soulful exploration through mythology, devotion, and history.
Begin your trail in Colombo, where your spiritual journey begins with visits to local temples and an introduction to the epic’s presence in Sri Lankan folklore. From there, travel to Munneswaram Temple, one of the five ancient Shiva temples believed to be visited by Lord Rama after his victory over Ravana. It is said that Lord Rama stopped here to pray for forgiveness for the sin of killing Ravana, a Brahmin by birth.
Continue your journey to Chilaw, where the Manavari Temple holds great significance — it’s believed to be the first lingam installed by Lord Rama himself. These sacred places bring the epic to life, allowing devotees to reflect and connect spiritually with the stories they’ve long known.
One of the most spiritually moving parts of the journey is a visit to Sita Eliya, near Nuwara Eliya, believed to be the place where Sita was held captive in Ashoka Vatika. Here, the Sita Amman Temple stands — adorned with idols of Sita, Rama, Hanuman, and Ravana — overlooking the spot where Sita spent her days under guard. Close by, you can see Sita’s footprint-shaped rock and the stream where she is believed to have bathed.
As the trail leads to Ella, you’ll visit Ravana Ella Falls and Ravana’s Caves, thought to be a network of tunnels Ravana used to move Sita secretly. These natural formations are not only tied to myth but also offer awe-inspiring views of Sri Lanka’s hill country. The lush scenery, waterfalls, and caves turn each stop into both a spiritual and scenic highlight.
Your journey then leads to Kataragama, where Lord Skanda (Murugan) is worshipped — deeply revered by Tamil Hindus, this temple is symbolic of divine protection and valor, linking beautifully with Hanuman’s loyalty and courage in the epic.
