I recently completed a 7-day, 6-night tour of Sri Lanka focused on the Ramayana Trail, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Dimuth, was exceptional, ensuring everything went smoothly from the moment he picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off.
Highlights of the trip:
Anuradhapura: We began with the ancient city, exploring sacred temples and historical sites linked to the Ramayana.
Jaffna: A culturally vibrant city with lively markets and delicious local cuisine.
Habarana: Visited the iconic Sigiriya Rock, a stunning site with panoramic views.
Kandy: Known for the Temple of the Tooth and a memorable cultural dance performance.
Nuwara Eliya: A charming hill station with cool weather and picturesque tea plantations.
Katharagama: A key stop for us, dedicated to Lord Murugan and his wife Valli Amman. It’s a spiritually significant site where pilgrims come to honor the couple, particularly in connection with Murugan’s journey to marry Valli. It was a serene and powerful visit.
Colombo: The bustling capital, where we enjoyed local food, shopping, and sightseeing.
Dimuth made this journey extra special with his deep knowledge of the Ramayana Trail and Sri Lankan culture. He was always flexible, ensuring our experience was personalized and enriching.
This tour was the perfect mix of spiritual history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in the Ramayana or exploring Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.
