2026 Sri Lanka Ramayana Yatra: Quick Facts
For those looking for a quick summary of the Ramayana Trail in Sri Lanka, here is everything you need to know for your 2026 pilgrimage:
Duration: 5 Nights 6 Days
Starting Point: Chennai International Airport (MAA)
Key Sites: Ashoka Vanam (Sita Eliya), Ravana Falls, Kataragama (Kathir Kaman), and Colombo.

The Ramayana Yatra is more than just a tour; it is a walk through history. In 2026, spiritual tourism to Sri Lanka is reaching new heights, with improved infrastructure making these remote mountain sites more accessible than ever.
Located in the misty hills of Nuwara Eliya, Ashoka Vanam is believed to be the garden where Ravana kept Goddess Sita captive. Today, the Sita Amman Temple stands here, featuring footprints on the rock bed believed to be those of Lord Hanuman.
The majestic Ravana Falls in Ella is a sight to behold. Legend says Ravana hid Sita in the caves behind these cascading waters. The 25-meter-high waterfall is a perfect spot for photography and reflection on the epic's final chapters.
The Kathir Kaman Kovil (Kataragama Temple) is a multi-religious site dedicated to Lord Murugan (Kartikeya). In the Ramayana context, it is said that Lord Rama sought the blessings of the deity here before the final battle against Ravana. It remains one of the most powerful spiritual energy centers on the island.
