24 mins read
The dream of international travel often comes with the fear of hefty expenses. However, for groups traveling from Bangalore, securing significant savings on international holidays like the 7-Day Vietnam Adventure or the 6-Day Singapore-Malaysia Tour is entirely achievable with strategic planning. Our experts specialize in finding international group holiday packages that maximize value without sacrificing the quality of the experience. Here are the most effective hacks on how to save big on international group tours.
1. The Starting Point: Absolution and the First Ramalingam (Day 1)
The journey begins immediately upon arrival, establishing the spiritual purpose of the tour by visiting sites linked directly to Lord Rama's penitence after defeating Ravana.
Munneswaram Temple: Located near Chilaw, this ancient Lord Shiva shrine is the spot where Lord Rama is said to have prayed to absolve himself of the sin of Brahmahatya (killing a Brahmin).
Manavari Temple: A short distance away, the Manavari Temple is where Rama installed the first lingam named Ramalingam. This is one of only two such sites in the world (the other being Rameswaram, India), establishing the profound sacred connection between the two nations.
2. The East Coast Circuit: Shakti, Shiva, and Sacred Springs (Day 2)
Day 2 takes you to the historic port city of Trincomalee, a vital strategic and spiritual location in the Ramayana era.
Dambulla Cave Temple (UNESCO): The day begins with the magnificent Buddhist site, the Dambulla Cave Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest cave temple complexes in Sri Lanka.
Thirukoneswaram Temple: Perched dramatically atop Swami Rock overlooking the Bay of Bengal, this revered Thirukoneswaram Waram Temple (Temple of a Thousand Pillars) is another ancient Shiva shrine. Legend connects its origins to Ravana's devotion to Shiva.
Sankari Devi Shakti Peeth: The visit includes the sacred Sankari Devi Shakti Peeth, revered as one of the 18 Shakti Peethas where a part of Goddess Sati's body is believed to have fallen.
Kanniya Hot Springs: The stop at Kanniya Hot Springs involves the local legend that Ravana created the seven wells when performing the last rites for his mother.
3. The Cultural Heart and Sita’s Trail (Days 3 & 4)
The middle of the tour explores the cultural capital before ascending to the misty hill country dedicated to Goddess Sita.
Kandy (Day 3): The drive to Kandy leads to the Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), the island's most sacred Buddhist site.
Nuwara Eliya (Day 4): The highlight is the ascent to Nuwara Eliya ("Little England"). This region houses the Seetha Amman Temple (the supposed site of Ashok Vatika, where Sita was held captive) and Divurumpola Temple, the legendary site of the Agni Pariksha (trial by fire).
Gayathri Peedam Temple: A visit to the first temple dedicated to Goddess Gayathri in Sri Lanka ensures the spiritual depth continues.
