New Delhi – 25 December – For centuries, the epic tale of the Ramayana has held a special place in the hearts of people across India. Now, SriLankan Airlines invites you to walk through the sacred pages of this timeless story with our exclusive Ramayana Trail package, designed especially for Indian travelers. This experience will immerse you in the places where Lord Rama, Sita, and Hanuman’s adventures unfolded, set against the lush backdrop of Sri Lanka.
The Ramayana Trail takes you to 20 significant locations in Sri Lanka, each deeply woven into the Ramayana story. Visit Seetha Amman Temple, where Sita is said to have prayed during her captivity, and stand in awe at Rumassala Hill, where a piece of the Himalayas is believed to have landed, dropped by Hanuman. Every stop is a connection to your spiritual heritage, bringing the stories of the Ramayana alive.
SriLankan Airlines, Chief Executive Officer, Richard Nuttall said, “We are pleased to make a grand comeback in the India market with this exclusive range of Ramayana Trail excursions which is guaranteed to inspire travellers to explore destination Sri Lanka like never before. India is our single largest market in terms of number of cities connected and flight frequencies. We are certain that this endeavour will further strengthen our future expansion strategies whilst portraying Sri Lanka as a destination that is closely connected to their devotion and culture.
Sri Lanka Tourism Promotions Bureau, Chairman, Buddhika Hewawasam said, “India has been the prime source market for Sri Lanka’s inbound tourism. Travellers from India hold a very special place in our hearts, as they have always been the first to arrive in our shores signalling the end of difficult times. This trend has been visible in the context of all unprecedented challenges that we faced recently as a country. We are proud to collaborate with the National Carrier, SriLankan Airlines in its latest strategic marketing drive, ‘Ramayana by SriLankan,’ which will continue to inspire discerning travellers from India to explore the charms of old ages blending seamlessly with modern day travel.”
