Aiming to capitalize on the growing number of outbound Indian travelers, Sri Lanka has launched new initiatives to attract Indian tourists. Sri Lankan Airlines, the country’s national carrier has launched a unique package for Indian tourists- the “Ramayana Trail” that includes 50 significant locations in the country which is associated with the Hindu epic.
These include Seeta Amman Temple, where Mata Sita is said to have prayed during her captivity, to Rumassala hill, where a piece of the Himalayas is believed to have landed, dropped by Hanuman.
Launching the trail officially over the weekend in Delhi, the Sri Lankan high commissioner said, “The Ramayan is not merely a story, it is a tapestry encapsulating culture, spirituality, and heritage. It has been a source of inspiration, guidance, fostering a connection between India & Sri Lanka…Sri Lankan Airlines is not only offering the opportunity to discover significant locations”
