All believe that Lanka in Ramayana is Srilanka.
But based on Valmiki Ramayana Lanka is not present day Srilanka (Ceylon).During those times Lanka was situated in the Indrana hills, also called 'Trikutia hill’, now surrounded by Hiran river (about 100 kms from what is now, Jabalpur) near Amarkarnataka in the vindhya mountains .The sagar (sea) mentioned in the original ramayana is the lake between the Indrana hill and Lanka of the Vindhyas, which is now a marshy land. The monkeys we read about in Ramayana were actually not monkeys but tribal people belonging to ‘Monkey tribes’ as the tribes in that area are called by the names of animals such as ‘Monkeys’,’ Serpents’, ’Jatayus’, ’Balus’ and ‘Vanaras’
