Girmitiya Yatra

The Girmitiya Yatra organized by Girmitiya Foundation is a non-commercial journey to honor the struggles, sacrifices, and resilience of our ancestors who left their homeland as indentured laborers.

This Yatra is not just travel—it is a spiritual and cultural pilgrimage that connects us with our roots, history, and heritage. Participants experience historical sites, cultural traditions, and stories that shaped the lives of the Girmitiyas.
