At Ceylon Trace, we invite you to explore the Ramayana Trail in a way few others do—through the lens of unseen Sri Lanka. This tour is a unique blend of myth, nature, and adventure, guiding you through sacred sites and stunning landscapes tied to one of the world’s greatest epics.
From the ancient temples of Chilaw to the lush hills of Nuwara Eliya and the dramatic Ravana Falls in Ella, you’ll follow the legendary path of Rama, Sita, Hanuman, and Ravana. Along the way, you’ll uncover not only epic history but also the lesser-known beauty of Sri Lanka—hidden temples, tranquil forests, and spiritual landmarks nestled off the typical tourist path.
With our promise to “Explore Sri Lanka Like Never Before,” this journey offers more than just sightseeing. It’s a deep cultural immersion and a rare opportunity to experience the authentic soul of Sri Lanka—adventurous, sacred, and truly unforgettable.
