Embark on a Spiritual Journey Like No Other: The Ramayana Trail with SriLankan Airlines
For centuries, the epic tale of the Ramayana has held a special place in the hearts of people across India. Now, SriLankan Airlines invites you to walk through the sacred pages of this timeless story with our exclusive Ramayana Trail package, designed especially for Indian travelers. This experience will immerse you in the places where Lord Rama, Sita, and Hanuman’s adventures unfolded, set against
the lush backdrop of Sri Lanka.
The Ramayana Trail takes you to 20 significant locations in Sri Lanka, each deeply
woven into the Ramayana story. Visit Seetha Amman Temple, where Sita is said to
have prayed during her captivity, and stand in awe at Rumassala Hill, where a piece of
the Himalayas is believed to have landed, dropped by Hanuman. Every stop is a
connection to your spiritual heritage, bringing the stories of the Ramayana alive.
SriLankan Airlines, Chief Executive Officer, Richard Nuttall said, “We are pleased to
make a grand comeback in the India market with this exclusive range of Ramayana
Trail excursions which is guaranteed to inspire travellers to explore destination Sri
Lanka like never before. India is our single largest market in terms of number of cities
connected and flight frequencies. We are certain that this endeavour will further
strengthen our future expansion strategies whilst portraying Sri Lanka as a destination
that is closely connected to their devotion and culture.
Sri Lanka Tourism Promotions Bureau, Chairman, Buddhika Hewawasam said, “India
has been the prime source market for Sri Lanka’s inbound tourism. Travellers from
India hold a very special place in our hearts, as they have always been the first to arrive
in our shores signalling the end of difficult times. This trend has been visible in the
context of all unprecedented challenges that we faced recently as a country. We are
proud to collaborate with the National Carrier, SriLankan Airlines in its latest strategic
marketing drive, ‘Ramayana by SriLankan,’ which will continue to inspire discerning
travellers from India to explore the charms of old ages blending seamlessly with modern
day travel.”
Experience the power of faith as you walk in the footsteps of Lord Rama and Sita. From
the cave where Ravana hid Sita to the lake where Lord Rama defeated Ravana, these
ancient sites provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect deeply with your roots.
The highlight, of course, is the legendary bridge built by Lord Rama's Vanara army to
reach Lanka, a symbol of resilience and devotion.
At SriLankan Airlines, we ensure that your journey is as comfortable as it is spiritual.
With stays at the finest 4- and 5-star hotels, along with the services of expert guides
who narrate the rich history and mythology of the Ramayana, you’ll travel in utmost

The Ramayana Trail is more than a tour; it’s an opportunity for self-discovery. As you
reflect on the values embodied by Lord Rama—honor, loyalty, and perseverance—you’ll
gain new insights into your own life. The connections you forge with your fellow
travelers, inspired by shared faith, will create memories and friendships that will last a
lifetime.
No visit to Sri Lanka would be complete without embracing its vibrant culture. From
vibrant festivals and colorful temples to mouth-watering local dishes like hoppers and
kottu, you’ll experience Sri Lanka's warm hospitality, echoing the famous Indian Atithi
Devo Bhava spirit. Sri Lanka’s close-knit relationship with India makes it the ideal
