The Ramayana Heritage Tour

Go to the Munneswaram and Mannarai temples in Chilaw first thing in the morning. In addition to their religious significance these temples are renowned for their exquisite architecture. Proceed to Kandy, the capital city renowned for its vibrant culture to continue your journey. Start your city tour as soon as you get there to take advantage of the vibrant local market and the Holy Temple of the Tooth Relic.

After departing from Nuwara Eliya continue on to Bandarawela, a quaint hill city surrounded by pervasive tea plantations and foggy mountains. Visit Gayathri-Peedam, a serene Hindu shrine honouring the goddesses Gayathri and Divurumpola, the site where Sita is said to have met Agni Pariksha in the Ramayana.

See the famous temple of Lord Murugan in the late morning. Look at Ussangoda, a distinctive coastal region that is believed to have been Hanuman’s landing place when he was searching for Sita. Pay Visits to the Sri Anjaneyar Temple in Colombo and the Seenigama Temple in Hikkaduwa to round out your full-day tour of the historically significant Rumassala Temple in Galle.
