The fact that these places actually exist is perhaps not enough to prove Ramayana actually happened. But then again, we need to understand that this epic was not written as one definite piece of text. Valmiki collected data from different sources and combined them with his own knowledge of events, (curated content FTW!) which was largely passed down orally through the years. And then other writers too contributed to it by adding details. The thing is, it is a little pointless to argue about the historical accuracy of the Ramayana. Whether it happened or not, is not as important as the message of good triumphing over evil it has spread throughout the passage of time.
