I have had the pleasure of talking (by phone) to Dzyan sitar/guitar player Eddy Marron, who was a very nice and down to earth fellow

Sorry for the long-windedness; I just didn't like the other video that has audio out of tune. I just don't like it when things are out of tune.

Also: 



Not exactly trippy, but, I guess, you could relate to it as psychedelic in a certain way, though the Vuh weren't into drugs, nor did they seem influenced by the psych-rock scene, as far as I know. 

In fact, quite a few tracks on "Hosianna Mantra" feature the sitar if they are not sitar-laden.

You could check out the Boredoms' "Seadrum/House of Sun" album.  Two 20-minute tracks, the first of which is a fast, rollicking instrumental with lots of piano trills and wordless vocals, and the second of which is a droning bliss-out instrumental featuring the sitar.

I love the sitar too, so I'd be interested in seeing other responses to this thread.  I have that Samsara album and enjoy it a lot, btw.

Can anyone please recommend me some psychedelic rock bands/albums/songs featuring a sitar in them?

Perhaps something like this (well, at least the introduction Tongue):



Thanks!
