From Ayodhya to Lanka: Decoding the Ancient Wisdom of the Ramayana Trail in 22 Days.
The Ramayana Trail – India to Sri Lanka Experience is more than a tour. It is a living epic, a journey that transforms mythology into geography. Across 22 days and 21 nights, travelers trace the footsteps of Lord Rama and Sita, from the sacred ghats of Ayodhya to the mystical caves of Ella, uncovering devotion, resilience, and timeless legends.
This curated trail by Jalaj Travels blends spirituality, heritage, and culture, offering an immersive experience for seekers, scholars, and explorers alike.
Why Choose the Ramayana Trail?
Most people know the Ramayana as a story. Few realize it is also a map of real landscapes. This journey allows you to:
- Walk through exile sites, battlefields, and temples tied to the epic
- Experience the emotional arc of devotion, conflict, and victory
- Witness how traditions in India and Sri Lanka still echo Ramayana legends
- Connect mythology with living culture across two nations
This is not sightseeing. This is an experiential pilgrimage through time.
