Ramayana Tour of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is famous among Hindu devotees as the land of the Demon King Ravana. Hindu epic, The Ramayana dwells on the beauty and the splendour of Sri Lanka, for Ravana was said to be a rich king, brother of Kubera, the treasurer of the Gods. Ravana was deemed a great king by his own subjects and it is said that he is depicted with 10 heads, not because he was a monster but because he had knowledge worthy of filling 10 heads. With over 50 sites in Sri Lanka, connected to the Ramayana lore, it is no wonder that this tour is in great demand. The Trail of Ramayana is based on research findings that link the sites to Lord Ram, wife Sita and demon king Ravana.
