Day 01 -  Colombo Airport ➝ Chilaw ➝ Dambulla

Munneswaram Temple
  • Pick up from Colombo Airport and Drive to Chilaw, an important site in Rama’s journey post-battle.

  • Visit Munneswaram Temple.
    It is believed that after defeating Ravana, Lord Rama stopped here to pray to Lord Shiva to absolve the sin of killing a Brahmin (Ravana, though a demon king, was a Brahmin by birth). The temple is revered for Rama’s act of devotion and purification.

  • Then Visit Manavari Temple.
    This is the very first place where Lord Rama installed a Shiva Lingam to seek atonement, and the lingam here is known as Ramalinga Shiva, as it was personally consecrated by Rama — making it one of only two Ramalingams in the world..

  • After Visiting the temple then proceed to Sigiriya or Dambulla.

  • Stay overnight at Dambulla or Sigiriya.

Day 02 - Dambulla➝ Kandy ➝ Ramboda

Shri Bhakta Hanuman Temple
  • Travel from the cultural heartlands to the misty hills of Kandy, passing through significant Ramayana landmarks.

  • Visit Dambulla Cave Temple on the way to Kandy.
    While not directly linked to the Ramayana, this ancient rock temple adds spiritual depth to your journey with centuries-old depictions of devotion and inner peace.

  • Visit Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.
    Though not directly linked to the Ramayana, this revered temple highlights Sri Lanka’s deep spiritual roots and offers a moment of reflection on the island’s rich sacred traditions.

  • Visit Ramboda Falls.
    Close to this cascading waterfall is a region believed to have been part of Hanuman’s landing zone when he first arrived in Lanka in search of Sita. According to legend, his powerful leap shook the landscape, and his footprints are believed to be imprinted on nearby rocks.

  • Visit Sri Bhakta Hanuman Temple.
    Situated on a hilltop, this temple marks a location believed to be visited by Hanuman during his search for Sita. The large Hanuman statue here honors his unwavering devotion and strength.

  • Stay overnight at Ramboda.

Day 03 -  Ramboda ➝ Nuwara Eliya

seetha amman temple
  • Journey into Nuwara Eliya, believed to be the very region where Sita was held captive.

  • Visit Seetha Amman Temple.
    Located at the exact spot where Sita was kept in Ashoka Vatika by Ravana, this temple is built beside the stream where she bathed. You can still see footprints in the rock, believed by devotees to be those of Hanuman.

  • Visit Ashok Vatika.
    The lush garden where Ravana tried to win over Sita’s heart, and where Hanuman finally met her to deliver Rama’s ring and message of hope. The area still retains its forested beauty, believed to have been preserved through divine grace.

  •  Visit Divurumpola Temple.
    This sacred site is where Sita underwent her Agni Pariksha (fire ordeal) to prove her purity to Rama. Even today, Sri Lankan couples come here to take oaths of honesty, believing in its power as a place of truth.

  • Stay overnight in Nuwara Eliya.

Day 04 - Nuwara Eliya ➝ Colombo ➝ Colombo Airport

Sri Ponnambalam Vanesar Kovil
  • Return to Colombo, the bustling capital.

  • If time allows, visit Sri Ponnambalam Vanesar Kovil .
    A sacred granite temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Though not tied directly to the Ramayana, it honors the same deities invoked by Rama in his quest.
