Travel to Sri Lanka has gone up among Bengalureans because of the buzz around the Ram temple in Ayodhya, a travel company told Metrolife.

Metrolife asked experts which destinations are trending among Bengalureans. Vietnam and Turkey have become sought-after countries in the past one year while countries like Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore continue to remain favourites.

In the last 3 to 4 months, Nesara Tours, Nagarbhavi, has got many enquiries for the Ramayana trail in Sri Lanka. “It covers areas like Nuwara Eliya, Jaffna, Colombo, and Yala National Park in Sri Lanka,” says Karthik Marathe, partner of the tour operator company.
