Description

An unforgettable journey to witness the legacies related to Ramayana which is a landmark story in the history of both Sri Lanka and India with Beyond Escapes.
The Ramayana, an ancient epic narrative, unfolds the captivating tale of Prince Rama's relentless pursuit to rescue his cherished wife, Sita, from the clutches of the demon king, ravana. This timeless saga is not only a cornerstone of Indian literature but also ranks among the oldest and most revered legends in world history. Embarking on a journey through the hallowed Ramayana sites, this tour promises to paint a vivid and immersive picture of this ancient epic.

The Ramayana, often referred to as the "Rama Epic," is an enduring narrative deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of India and several other countries across South and Southeast Asia. Its origins are traced back to ancient Indian texts, primarily the valmiki Ramayana and the Tulsidas Ramayana, both of which narrate the heroic exploits of Prince Rama. This epic is not just a tale of valor, love, and righteousness but also serves as a moral compass for countless generations.

At the heart of the Ramayana lies the story of Prince Rama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and his virtuous consort, sita. Their lives take a fateful turn when sita is abducted by the ten-headed demon king, ravana, and taken to his kingdom of Lanka. Fuelled by love, duty, and unwavering devotion, Rama sets out on a perilous journey to rescue Sita and restore justice to the world.

The Ramayana's narrative takes us through a vivid landscape of ancient cities, mystical forests, and divine beings. The journey is replete with symbolism, philosophy, and profound life lessons. As we embark on the Ramayana tour, we will follow in the footsteps of Rama and his devoted allies, including the remarkable army of monkeys led by the revered monkey-god, Hanuman.

This extraordinary pilgrimage will lead us to a plethora of significant Ramayana sites, each holding a unique piece of the epic puzzle. Ayodhya, Rama's birthplace and his kingdom, is our first stop. Here, we will explore the grandeur of Rama's royal heritage and the temple dedicated to his birth.

Next on our itinerary is Chitrakoot, a serene forest retreat where Rama, Sita, and his loyal brother, Lakshmana, spent years in exile. The tranquil surroundings of Chitrakoot will transport us to the idyllic setting where the heroes of the epic faced both trials and tribulations.

Panchavati, located in the modern-day city of Nashik, marks the place where Ravana abducted Sita. We will visit the Sita Gufa (Sita's Cave) and the iconic Panchavati tree, which stands as a living testimony to the events that unfolded here.

In Kishkindha, the realm of monkeys, we will witness the profound friendship between Rama and Hanuman. Hampi, the unesco World Heritage site, is believed to be the ancient Kishkindha, where we will discover the remnants of a bygone era.
