Day Wise Itinerary
Day 1-2
Once you land in Colombo on 13th Sept, your first destination is Negombo, a beachside town often overlooked by tourists but central to this Ramayana trail.
Must-visit Negombo Tourist Places:
● Munneswaram Temple
● Manavari Temple
From there, the journey moves to Kandy, stopping for an Indian lunch along the way.
IRCTC’s Kandy tour package highlights include:
● Temple of the Tooth Relic
● Upper Lake Drive
● Quick city orientation for local flavour.
Day 3
After breakfast, you leave Kandy for Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka’s misty, tea-laden hill station.
Enroute experiences:
● Spice Garden visit
● Ramboda Waterfall
● Hanuman Temple
● Tea Gardens
After lunch, you check into your hotel in Nuwara Eliya for a peaceful night surrounded by clouds and pine forests.
Day 4
This is where the Ramayana truly comes to life. The day is packed with spiritually significant stops deeply tied to Sita’s story.
Top Nuwara Eliya tourist places included:
● Seetha Amman Temple
● Hakgala Gardens (Ashok Vatika)
● Gayatri Peetham
● Divurumpola Temple
● Gregory Lake
It’s a day soaked in myth, but made real as you walk through each sacred space.
Day 5
On the fifth day, you start towards Colombo with a stop at Pinnawala to watch the Pinnawala show that is a nice diversion into wildlife and conservation.
Sightseeing in Colombo includes:
● Anjaneyar Hanuman Temple
● Kelaniya Vibhishana Temple
Then leisure time for shopping and a short tour of the city, before you check in for the night.
These places to visit in Colombo are lesser known Ramayana highlights, and have a quiet and strong closure to your trip.
Day 6
On 17th Sept, you fly home from Colombo to Delhi and then to Lucknow with memories that will last much longer than the journey.
