8 Days Sri Lankan Ramayan Tours

Sri Lankan Ramayan Tours

Get ready to go on an exciting journey through the Ramayanaya Trail in Sri Lanka, the place where epic stories of the past will come alive also. We start at the Sigiriya rock, that high fort, which was said to be Ravana's Lanka, setting the scene of the dreadful battles. While in Nuwara Eliya, take time to visit the Seetha Amman Temple, the place where the imprisonment of Sita was conducted in Ashok Vatika. On the other hand you visit the Hanuman Temple in Ramboda, which shows Hanuman's visit to Lanka. Take some time to visit Ravana Falls in Ella, which is the location of Ravana's hideout. Finally, reach out to Kataragama Dewalaya, a place of worship equally sacred to both Hinduism and Buddhism. After a short and enjoyable break, immerse yourself in Colombo's bustling city lifestyle combined with ultra-modern facilities but maintaining culturally rich heritage. This trip takes you to the very heart of Ramayana's vast cultural roots.

What Our Guests Review

Authentic experiences shared by guests who have made unforgettable memories at HappinessVilla Review

Our guests are at the heart of everything we do. We're proud to share their stories and experiences during their stay at HappinessVilla Yala Hotel.

We had a wonderful stay here. Rooms were clean, super comfortable and the location is perfect. Only a 1 minute walk to one of the beautiful lakes where we saw a beautiful sunset, cows, birds and other wildlife. It’s also less than a 10 minute walk to the shops which is super convenient. The host is extremely helpful and provided us with beautiful refreshments throughout our stay. All of our needs were met and communication was great. Highly recommend to anyone visiting this area!
