This pilgrimage tour of Sri Lanka from India takes you to the religion sites in the country like the revered Munneswaram Temple, sacred Temple of Tooth Relic in Kandy, Baktha Hanuman Temple and the Manavari Temple. The ultimate spiritual travel experience in Asia. Delight in an opportunity to follow the Ramayana trails and visit the most important Ramayana sights in Sri Lanka.
If you are someone who loves mythologies and history and loves to explore the religious trails and stories, then this Sri Lanka tour, is a must tour for someone like you. Sri Lanka holds an important place in the scripts of Hindu mythology, Ramayana. The whole environment and setting of Sri Lanka will take you back to the scenes of Ramayan, the place where Sita was captured, the place where Lord Hanuman bought herbs for Lord Laxman, and the very famous battlefield where the two parties fought the war and the spot where the Ravana was killed by the great Lord Ram.
During the course of your tour, learn about the epic tales and the deep-rooted culture of Sri Lanka. This special tour brings you to the roots of the ancient great Indian epic The Ramayana – a tale that depicts the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters and explores the tenets of human existence and the concept of Dharma. Sri Lanka’s rich Ramayana heritage is the proud custodian of more than 50 Ramayana sites from the place of Seetha Devi’s captivity to the battlefields where vast armies clashed, to the groves of exotic herbs dropped by the monkey god Hanuman, to the ultimate theatre of war where Lord Rama slew Ravana, the ten-headed demon-king.
While beaches of Colombo offer a great tropical experience, the mountains and forests near Kandy are breathtaking. The tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya are visited by scores of travelers around the year. December through March remains the best time to visit Sri Lanka for holidays. Being a tropical country, it has usually humid weather in the coastal areas.
