Is mobile allowed in Rameshwaram temple? A. No, all electronic devices have to be deposited at the entrance before walking barefoot into the temple. Taking photos or videos within the temple is prohibited. Q. Which time of the year is best to visit Rameshwaram? A. t is ideal to visit Rameshwaram between October and April as the weather is great with occasional rain and temperature hovering between 17 °C to 25 °C. While it’s alright to visit at any time of the year, the Rameshwaram temple gets crowded on Mahashivratri. Q. What is the cost of transport in Rameshwaram? A. If you’re out sightseeing and visiting all the temples it would be better to rent a private vehicle depending on the size of your group. The cabs charge fixed rates for a distance limit beyond which additional charges apply. Typically a small hatchback would cost around Rs 700 while sedans and SUVs can cost Rs 1,500 and above to rent. Auto rickshaws are cheaper but cannot carry the whole group.

The Best Rameshwaram Itinerary – an offbeat Rameshwaram Trip Plan

Welcome to another detailed destination guide to one of my favorite vacation spots in India.

In this post I bring to you the perfect Rameshwaram itinerary and all the information you need for Rameshwaram trip planning. 

Located in Tamil Nadu , Rameshwaram (also spelled Rameswaram ) is a holy land of Hindus and is speckled with temples signifying different episodes of Ramayana.

But our 3-day Rameshwaram itinerary was more about exploring the natural beauty of the island through offbeat spots. We visited a couple of temples but skipped some crowded tourist spots.

Follow this itinerary for an offbeat trip to discover the idyllic island of Rameshwaram and its nearby places like Dhanushkodi and Mandapam . 

We explored in and around Rameshwaram, the nearby region Mandappam and the fabled town of Dhanushkodi in the first two days. The last day was reserved to drive back to Bangalore after the complimentary breakfast at hotel.

The post contains affiliate links for tours, hotels etc. This means if you make any purchase through the links in the post, I may get a commission without any additional cost to you.

A Quick Outline

Day 1- A Road Trip from Bangalore to Rameshwaram

Firstly, I should begin my story by saying that the road-trip from Bangalore to Rameshwaram is the smoothest drive we have ever been on.

More than 80% of the route is a multi-lane highway, with the best roads in India. We started at 4:30 am and reached Rameshwaram by 1 pm, with a pit-stop for breakfast at A2B at the Salem-Madurai Road.

We crossed the temple city of Madurai on our way. You can stop here to see the iconic Meenakshi temple of Madurai.

However, we were constrained by time and didn’t want to stop anywhere else before we reached Mandapam.

We were a little afraid of the retreating monsoon in the south in November, but the clear sky made our day.

Related: Read the only Roadtrip packing checklist you need before you embark on your next.

Driving Map for Day 1 in Rameshwaram

Our trip to Rameshwaram begins from Kushi Beach in Mandappam. Here is the driving roadmap from there. 

We also stopped at the Mandappam bird sanctuary on our way but I recommend skipping it in your itinerary.

From Kushi Beach, drive to the Abdul Kalam Memorial, then reach the hotel.

After some rest, drive to the famous Ramanathaswamy Temple . From there drive to Lakshman Teertha and the offbeat beaches of Rameshwaram I’ve mentioned in the detailed itinerary below.

But before that, you may want to download the full map by clicking on the button below if you are driving from Bangalore.

🚙 🚗 Rent a  Zoomcar  for self-driving all the way in Kerala 🚔

If you want to use the public transport to reach Rameshwaram, refer to the FAQ section at the end of the post.

After reaching Kushi beach you can easily use the local auto-rikshaws and buses to commute.

Unlike big cities like Chennai, communication can be a challenge for foreigners in Rameshwaram. So booking a cab or tour is better. I have listed the best tours later in my post.

📲 Getting simcard is difficult in India for foreign nationals. The easiest way to stay connected is with Airalo e-sim . For multi-country trips, you can buy global e-sim valid for 130 countries. 🤳

Mandapam Bird Sanctuary – a let-down

Mandapam is the gateway to Rameshwaram. It is the last area in mainland India before you cross the Pamban bridge to reach the island.

We took a small diversion to reach the bird sanctuary that we read some raving reviews on popular travel sites. It turns out to be sort of a let-down.

There weren’t too many birds when we went, but we did get some interesting photo subjects here. Aren’t the horses beautiful?

Aryaman Beach at Mandapam

Our next stop was the Aryaman beach, also known as the Kushi beach resort. There is a nominal entry fee of Rs. 20 to this isolated beach.

The approach road to the beach is rugged but you don’t need a 4-wheel drive for it. Kushi beach is one of the most spectacular beaches in India that I’ve been to.

Yes, the beaches of Dhanushkodi were even better, but we haven’t seen them till then. So, it was indeed a pleasant surprise to be greeted by coastal woods around marsh waters that were followed by clean white sand leading to the Prussian blue sea.

Located in the Palk Bay, this 2 km long stretch of shimmering beach is one of the best places to visit in the Rameshwaram trip.

You can go for a boat-ride at around Rs. 150 for 15 minutes. You can bargain for better rates.

There are many watersports activities that you can engage in on the beach. It’s said that the water is so clean that you can actually see the fish underneath. The water was clean indeed, but we didn’t find fish.

It was a refreshing stop after a long drive with little sleep at night. After this, we drive towards the flyover connecting to Pamban Island, a.k.a Rameswaram.

Pamban Bridge

Imagine looking at a train running on a bridge running across the spectacular sea and the bridge opening up to allow the ships to pass through.

That’s the Pamban Bridge, the first sea bridge in India and an engineering marvel in itself.

Constructed over 100 years ago in 1913, Pamban Bridge was also the longest sea bridge in India before the Bandra-Worli Sea link came up in 2009.

I have heard and read so much about it before that there was a great chance for this to be underwhelming. The good news is it was not. Pamban Bridge was love at first sight for me.

I could stand at the flyover all day gazing at the changing colors of the sea on both sides – blue, turquoise, sea-green, orange, red, grey.

There’s a bold warning that the sidewalks of Pamban Flyover are a no-parking zone and that doing so will attract an Rs.600 fine.

A warning that is conveniently ignored by everyone crossing the flyover at least once, despite it being under the traffic police surveillance.

However, at the end of the flyover, there is a marked parking zone where you can safely park your vehicle and spend as much time as you want to.

This is the most amazing photography spot in Rameshwaram.

For first-time visitors who don’t know about the restrictions, the view of the Pamban Bridge from the top is irresistible, and therefore they often tend to park their car or halt for a considerably long time.

Don’t do that. Not just because you can be fined but also because it can be dangerous to do so, especially with kids.

Tips to see the Pamban Bridge:

• Park your car in the parking zone end of the flyover and always stay on the side-walk
• Look out for the train running on the bridge, it’s an amazing experience
• Visit at the time of sunset for a mesmerizing view
• Take a train to Rameshwaram for a unique experience of crossing the sea by train

Abdul Kalam Memorial Museum

Who does not love Dr. Abdul Kalam? India’s favorite president, late Abdul Kalam was born in Rameshwaram.

A simple man with the humblest beginnings went on to become the Rocket-Man of India. After an illustrious career in science, he became India’s 11th President and later dedicated his life to teaching and philanthropy.

Abdul Kalam Memorial was our first stop on the island of Rameshwaram. It was constructed at the burial site of Dr. Abdul Kalam and has some of his humble possessions including his “Veena”.

Veena is a musical instrument that is an integral part of Indian classical music.

You can read more about this incredible personality in this book .

The entry to the memorial is free but you are not allowed to bring any camera inside. Phones must be switched off when you are inside the building.

This is a very small museum, but it was a heart-warming experience to learn about the life and exemplary works of the great man again.

Reach Hotel at Rameshwaram

By the time we reached our hotel, it was nearly 2 pm. An important thing to know while planning a trip to Rameshwaram, is that there are only a few hotels that serve non-vegetarian food.

One of them that we found on Zomato was closed all day.

Hyatt Place which is now called Residency Towers Rameshwaram is a 4-star property with a beautiful swimming pool, a modern gymnasium, a spa, and a multi-cuisine Vegetarian restaurant.

So, if you are not too keen on fish and chicken, I’ll recommend Residency Towers Rameshwaram .

Hotel Ashoka and Hotel Ragavendra are the best 3-star properties for accommodation here at a cheaper rate than Hyatt.

Drive to Sri Ramanathawamy Temple

After taking some time to freshen up we decided to go out and explore the island on our own.

I did have an itinerary chalked out which had the famous landmarks of Rameshwaram – the Ramanathaswamy Temple, Lakshman Teertha and the five-faced Hanuman temple to name a few.

Ramanathaswamy temple is one of the four Hindu pilgrimage sites (“chardham”) associated with Ramayana, where people come for salvation.

The Ramanathaswamy temple is unmissable in any sightseeing tour to Rameshwaram. The temple has the longest corridor in India with 1212 ornate pillars and 22 holy springs.

The tall gopuram played hide and seek with us throughout the trip as we explored the other places in Rameshwaram.

Considering the queue before the temple and the parking lot, you will need to keep 2-hours aside for visiting Rameshwaram temple.

Olaikuda Beach Park

Olaikuda is a fishing village in Rameshwaram with a park for entertaining tourists. You can go for Kayaking and different types of boat ride in the lake water here.

We walked on the shore observing the fishermen and the tourists kayaking in the blue waters of the lake.

Though they are trying to make it a tourist attraction, the place is still off-the-radar as you can’t find it on TripAdvisor.

Rameshwaram Lighthouse

We continued to drive aimlessly towards the land’s end as seen on Google Map, and that’s how we reached the lighthouse beach of Rameshwaram.

This is another fishing village, but there were no tourists here. I loved how the small park near the beach had tree-houses and a well.

The lighthouse was closed when we went but we loved spending time on the desolate beach with no other tourists around.

Lakshman Teertha

Near the Ramanathaswamy temple is the Lakshman Teertha. This is a beach where pilgrims take a bath before visiting the Ramanathaswamy temple.

It is also a great place to view the sunset. However, the beach is quite dirty and stinky, unlike all other beaches of Rameshwaram.

I liked the spiritual energy out there, but this is not where I would spend much time.

Sunset at Vivekananda Memorial & Beach

We drove through the interiors of Rameshwaram while chasing the sunset to another offbeat place in the area.

The Vivekananda Memorial is a beautiful building that stands out for its bright saffron color and a colorful dome.

By the time we reached there, we had already missed the sunset, but we experienced the ethereal dusk at the beach behind.

The Vivekananda memorial itself is small and has only a few photographs and books of Swami Vivekananda, one of the greatest Hindu saints.

The beach here is spectacular and it was a great way to end our really long day.

After watching the changing colors of the sky to our greatest content, we returned to our hotel to retire for the day.

Day2 –Dhanushkodi and offbeat Mandapam

A mesmerizing drive to dhanushkodi.

After an amazing breakfast at Hyatt Place, we started off early to Dhanushkodi . Starting early at around 9 am was the best decision of the day.

The road to Dhanushkodi is one of the most scenic roads in India. Swanked by the ocean on both sides the road goes straight to the border of India.

We read about off-roading and the need to hire jeeps for the same, but that is obsolete information now. As the entire road is not just motorable but is the best-in-class.

There is a check post at the border of Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi as well. Vehicles are allowed to cross it only till around 11 am.

Otherwise, you will need to walk almost 2km in the hot sun or depend on passerby for a lift. After that vehicles can only exit from Dhanushkodi.

So, if you don’t have your own vehicle, it is prudent to go as early in the morning as you can and leave by 11 am. Even if you have your own car, reach early so that you can drive to the beach.

Exploring Dhanushkodi- the Ghost town of India

Once upon a time, there was a flourishing town called Dhanushkodi . With the Indian Ocean on one side and Bay of Bengal on the other, it was the only landmass separating India from Sri Lanka.

It was the gateway for international trade and pilgrimage. The fishermen families here lived a simple yet happy life.

Then came the cyclone of 1964. A disastrous one that ravaged the town and rendered it uninhabitable. The government declared it “Ghost Town”.

But few families still decided to stay back. It was their home after all.

53 years after the natural disaster the town started attaining significance once again, this time as a tourist attraction.

These families earn their living by fishing and selling coral artifacts to tourists. Stop at the vibrant beach-side markets to buy incredibly cheap souvenirs and eat fresh seafood at the shacks. 

Words are not enough to describe how I felt when I first stopped at a random beach of Dhanushkodi before reaching the main tourist beach. This was just a place where we stopped our car on our way to the Dhanushkodi beach. You have to keep 3-4 hours aside for a trip to Dhanushkodi, and it will be the highlight of your Rameshwaram itinerary.

Of course, we can’t just talk about a trip to Dhanushkodi and not talk about the famous Ram Setu or Adam’s bridge .

There are satellite pictures of a line of stones underneath the sea that connects Dhanushkodi to Sri Lanka.

According to mythology, this is the bridge that Lord Ram created with the help of Vaanar Sena (an army of monkeys) led by Sri Hanuman to cross the sea and reach Lanka.

That is where the mighty Raavan ruled and had kept Sri Ram’s wife Sita captive. Scientific studies have concluded it to be a natural wonder.

However, the carbon-dating of the rocks put the age at 7000-year-old, coinciding with the date of the events of Ramayana.

Ramar Padham

On our way back from Dhanushkodi we stopped at Ramar Padham, the temple of Ram’s feet situated in a hillock called Gandha Madhana Parvatham.

It is considered to be the highest point in Rameshwaram from where you can get a panoramic view of the island.

If you bring your binoculars you can see the Pamban bridge, the Ramanathaswamy temple and the lighthouse from here.

Speedboat ride at seaside park

After a delicious seafood lunch (finally) at one of the not-so-fancy shacks of Dhanushkodi we came back to our hotel and changed into dry clothes for the second half of the day.

This time we headed straight to Pamban bridge once again, crossed it and reached the seaside park. It’s a small yet beautiful entertainment park that advertises glass-floor boat rides.

The glass-floor boats apparently help you see the fish underneath. A speedboat ride for two costs Rs. 400 (prices as of 2019).

However, when you actually enquire about it, they will tell you straight away that fish sighting is for the rare lucky ones.

They are true. The glass-floor is too soiled for you to be able to see anything underneath.

But that didn’t stop us from enjoying the ride. In fact, this is one of the best things to do on a trip to Rameshwaram.

Chasing the Sundarmudaiyan Fort

After this, we didn’t know where else to go that will be of interest. There are many other places on the tourist map including an aquarium that we could not find.

So instead, we spotted a place for the Sundarmudaiyan Fort and started following the Google maps for it.

On our way, we were surprised to see a peacock in secluded places running around on their own. However, that was the only attraction we found where we went.

We entered a village inside a forest and off-roaded through it, but we couldn’t find the fort anywhere.

Since there was no one around to even ask, we returned and started driving towards the beach.

Erwadi Beach

We didn’t know the name of this beach when we went here, and it was only when I looked back on my Google timeline, I found its name.

Once again, this was another quaint fishing village with no tourists around.

We spent time clicking a solo peacock in the coastal woodlands and waiting for it to flaunt its wings. Well, it didn’t.

This is a beautiful beach to visit if you just want to peacefully relax around in the lap of nature.

Sunset at Pamban

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”- Rabindranath Tagore

These are the only words that can describe the dramatic sky of the evening at Pamban. Our last stop was once again the Pamban Flyover itself on our way back to our hotel.

As I stood at the sidewalk of a busy highway and stared at the sunset, the cacophony of traffic faded into oblivion.

For those few minutes I had transcended into a different world, I was there at the horizon seeing off the sun while the clouds lingered by.

This was the end of our long weekend at one of the most spectacular parts of India.

The next day we would have to start early for our home to avoid the infamous Bangalore traffic on a Sunday evening.

We would be back in our mundane life revolving around the office and home. But these memories will keep us motivated to work hard and look forward to traveling again.

We had many road trips throughout the year, but Rameshwaram will always find a special place in my heart. I recommend this as one of the best trips in December in India.

Check out the various options for Rameshwaram Tour and their prices here

For a first-time visitor from outside South India, I highly recommend these tours. Rameshwaram is after-all an offbeat place that is away from the main-land and might be challenging to navigate on your own.

My Top Picks

• Reach Rameshwaram by train or bus, and then take a heritage walking tour
• Curated day trip from Madurai at Rs. 3000 per person for a group of 3

Rameshwaram FAQs

So, are you excited to visit Rameshwaram? Here are some common questions that I’ve answered to make you planning easier. 

If you still have more questions fill free to ask in the comments or join my Facebook community to post your travel queries, experiences etc.

How to reach Rameswaram by public transport?

The best way to reach Rameshwaram is by train from Chennai or Madurai to Rameshwaram.

The train will cross the narrow sea through the 100-year-old Pamban bridge – an experience worth visiting India for.

Chennai, located 600 km from Rameshwaram, is the nearest big international airport.

It is followed by Bangalore which is 606 km from Rameshwaram.

However, there is no direct train from Bangalore to Rameshwaram. You have to take a train to Trichy and then get a local train or hire a cab to Rameshwaram.

Direct buses (government-run as well as private) ply from Bangalore to Madurai or Rameshwaram daily.

If you go to Madurai first, then you can take a local train or hire a cab to Rameshwaram. 

Book buses from anywhere to Rameshwaram here

Which is the best month to visit Rameshwaram ?

The best time to visit Rameshwaram is during the winter, that is, late November to early January . Overall, the weather here is hot, hotter, hottest round-the-year. So, plan your trip in the winter.

August to October is typically rainy season. It is a tricky time to visit Rameshwaram. Sure, the temperatures cool down and you can see a rainbow while across the two seas. But incessant rainfalls can be dangerous in this area.

The rest of the year in Rameshwaram is just hot, hotter and hottest. That’s not a great time to enjoy the beaches and go for outdoor adventures in this place.

How many days are enough for Rameshwaram ?

If you want to follow our itinerary, you need to have three days, considering one-day for returning to your hometown.

Two full days are needed to see all the best places in Rameshwaram , spend some time in the beaches and watch the sunset from the bridge.

However, if you want to club Madurai and Rameshwaram on a single trip, you will need three – four days .

What to eat in Rameswaram?

Owing to its religious significance for Hindus, most restuarants in Rameswaram serve pure vegetarian food.

Idli, Dosa, Uthapam, Sambar, Vada- you will enjoy various Tamilian delicacies here.

However, for great fish you must visit Dhanushkodi. The beach shacks in Dhanushkodi offer fresh fish and crabs.

I don’t usually go on road trips, because I don’t own a car, but this one looks like full of nature spots which is really awesome! I especially like the stops at the beach and at water.

I visited Rameshwaram twice and loved the vibes of this place. Also Pamban bridge taking to this place is very unique. Taking bath in 108 temple sacred ponds is the most enchanting part of this trip.

Rameswaram Travel Guide

Lying few hundred kilometres away from Madurai and barely some miles from the Gulf of Mannar, the island of Rameswaram is a prominent pilgrimage site in Tamil Nadu as well as the rest of India. While there are ample places to visit in Rameswaram, right from pilgrimage sites to beaches, the Jyotirlinga, Ramanathaswamy Temple is the most visited and attracts thousands of pilgrims round the year.

Here, hymns and chants fill the air, creating a mesmerizingly hallowed ambiance. As the sea waves rise, so do the emotions in the minds of millions of devotees. Rameswaram is a vibrant destination, so divine and so very poetic.

At the very tip of the Indian peninsula lies Rameswaram, a serene strip of land that boasts of spectacular natural beauty. Renowned for being a pilgrimage destination, Rameswaram is home to the famous Ramanathaswamy Temple, known for its elaborate corridors and splendidly sculpted pillars. Though lying separated from the mainland of India in the Pamban Island, Rameswaram is connected to the mainland by the magnificent Pamban Bridge.  Considered one of the holiest places for Hindus in India and one among the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites, Rameswaram is also the closest point to Sri Lanka from India. Geological evidences state that once India was connected to Sri Lanka from this point via the Rama Sethu bridge. This quaint town has from time immemorial been a place of great interest and admiration to travellers. It is believed that Lord Rama, on his return after his war with Ravana, offered a repentance prayer to Lord Shiva to absolve his sins he had to commit during the confrontation. One version suggests that the Shiv Linga or the idol in the temple was built as a part of his worship. Another version is that the Shiv Linga was built before his trip to Lanka. However, the temple and the tales that surround it has been a factor of popularity for the town.  Apart from being a place noted for worship, Rameswaram also offers the travellers a shot at leisure through its tranquil beaches. Adventure sports like scuba diving are among the amusements offered in the region. For more information, visit  www.rameswaramtourism.org

Best Rameshwaram Tour Packages in 2024

Discover the magic of rameshwaram with exciting rameshwaram tour packages.

Located at the southeastern tip of Tamil Nadu, Rameshwaram is a town that is part of an island named Pamban whose foundation is believed to be laid by Lord Rama. Various accounts suggest that Lord Rama built a floating stone bridge from Rameshwaram to reach Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka.

Many Rameshwaram tour packages take you through all such places of mythological and historical importance in and around this town of India. You can also get a Bangalore to Rameshwaram package for a spiritual getaway from the IT hub of the country. Further, you can book a holiday package that lets you explore the mysterious place completely.

Rameshwaram Tourism: Best Places to Visit

If you have come from Chennai via a Chennai to Rameshwaram bus (travel time: 8-9 hours), you may want to take some rest. After that, here are a few places to visit:

• Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple - Popularly known as the Rameshwaram temple, it is the destination that tops the list of most Rameshwaram tour packages. It is extremely difficult to choose between this temple’s historical and mythological importance and decide which one weighs more. The perfect mix of colossal architecture and spiritual significance, a tour of the Rameshwaram temple would take at least 3 to 4 hours. There is no requirement of an entry fee to visit this temple. However, one might need a guide to take them through all the places inside the temple. The Rameshwaram temple is one of the most significant places to witness and one must include it in his/her tour packages.
• Dhanushkodi - Situated in a beach town that is sparsely populated, Dhanushkodi is one of the must-include destinations in your Rameshwaram tour packages. Although it is almost 25 km away from Rameshwaram, a private vehicle, auto or jeep would take you there. This beautiful beach town has an appearance similar to that of ruin due to a violent storm that hit the shores of Tamil Nadu in 1964. Since its destruction, the Tamil Nadu government has rebuilt the town and given it a new identity. The very emptiness in its air speaks volumes about the place and the exhilarating solitude it brings. Not visiting Dhanushkodi would be a great miss in your Rameshwaram tour packages.
• Jatayu Tirtham - The holy temple should be a part of your Rameshwaram tour packages. Unlike the regular temples, this one is built in the fond memory of Lord Rama’s loyal eagle, Jatayu that died trying to save Sita from Ravana. As the myth suggests, Jatayu must have been buried in this place and hence, a temple had been built around it where people can offer their prayers.
• Villoondi Tirtham - This is a natural water body considered sacred due to its deep-rooted connection with the Legend of Ramayana. Leaving aside the spiritual significance, Villoondi Tirtham is a place that attracts tourists due to its scenic beauty. The calm and quiet environment around the wide stretch of sand is a refreshing experience. In addition to this, there is spring inside the sea which makes this place unique from the rest. It is believed that Lord Rama had shot an arrow to create this spring to quench people’s thirst. One among the 64 tirtham, Villoondi Tirtham is around 7 km from Rameshwaram and can be accessed via private and public vehicles. All in all, Villoondi Tirtham is one of the holy and scenic places to include in your Rameshwaram tour packages.

Rameshwaram Tourism: Local Dishes to Try

You may reach Rameshwaram using a Bangalore to Rameshwaram package or from Chennai via a bus. The Chennai to Rameshwaram bus travel time is around 8 hours. However, even in that time, the cuisine seems to have acquired few local changes:

• South Indian Food - A wide variety of affordable restaurants serves South Indian food, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Pepper slashes, chicken curry, and keema vada are few delicacies that non-vegetarian lovers must try. Dosa, vada, and idli are among the vegetarian delights that must not go missing in your Rameshwaram tour packages. The authentic and magical taste of the coconut-flavoured chutney along with dosa should be experienced once you are in Rameshwaram.
• Seafood - Rameshwaram, surrounded by waters on all sides, gives tourists a variety of fish, prawns and crab dishes. While travelling to Dhanushkodi from Rameshwaram, try fish curry with a dash of raw mango at a shack on the beach. Enjoying food at these shacks is an experience that must be included in your Rameshwaram tour packages. To add to the culinary experience, cuttlefish, baby octopus and crab meat are also available.
• Meen Kozhambu - Another local delight to try out in Rameshwaram, meen khozhambu is predominantly a Chettinad fish curry that belongs to the Chettinad cuisine of a community named Nattukotai Chettiars from Tamil Nadu. This redfish curry is tangy and spicy. To add some more flavour to it, raw mango is used apart from the regular condiments. To have tried this while enjoying your Rameshwaram tour packages would surely be a tale to share.
• Gujarati Food - Despite being the southernmost tip of the country, one can find dominant traces of Gujarati cuisine. The spiritual devotees who prefer only vegetarian food can enjoy both South Indian and Gujarati food here. Ahaan, Gujarati Bhojanalya and Anand Bhavan are few places that serve authentic pure vegetarian food. While you are visiting temples and offering prayers, tasting such unique Gujarati thalis is a memorable experience to have in your Rameshwaram tour packages.

Rameshwaram Tourism: Top Things to Do

• Taking a Dip in a tirtham - A dip in any one of these holy tirtham must be part of your Rameshwaram tour packages. It is said that bathing in this holy water or essentially dipping your head in it washes away one’s sins.
• Kite Surfing - Very few people know that Rameshwaram is one of the best kite surfing destinations in India. So, if you want to try out something exhilarating, then include this activity in your Rameshwaram tour packages. Also, this is a Rameshwaram tourism endeavour that offers a wholesome experience to tourists.
• Stand at the Edge of India - You can walk on Arichal Munai, the border between India and Sri Lanka and know what it feels like to stand at the very edge of a country. The land stretches over 18 nautical miles and is filled with chains of limestone shells.
• Take a Train Ride over Pamban Bridge - Pamban Bridge is the second-longest sea bridge in India. The bridge is very low and close to the water thus allowing a better view of the water and the sailing boats. Opportunities to enjoy a train ride over it are available in many Rameshwaram tour packages.

Souvenirs to Lookout For

Rameshwaram tour packages are incomplete without offering opportunities to shop for souvenirs. You can get a variety of gift items such as pure silk clothes and sarees, handicrafts, textile items and various statues of gods and goddesses. A few Rameshwaram tour packages may also include a visit to special shops to get different and unique souvenirs.

Table of Contents

3 Day Rameshwaram Itinerary | Rameshwaram Tour Itinerary

We present here a 3 day Rameshwaram itinerary . However, you can customize it to suit your requirements. If you are short on time and looking at a Rameshwaram one day trip , you can plan to visit the places that are covered on Day 1 of this Rameshwaram itinerary, which are the top places to visit in Rameshwaram.

In addition to the Rameshwaram itinerary , you will also find useful information like the best time to visit Rameshwaram, hotels in Rameshwaram , and much more.

Day One of Rameshwaram Itinerary

Here are the places in Rameshwaram that you can cover on the first day of your itinerary. If you are looking for a short trip, then these are the places to visit in Rameshwaram in 1 Day .

Ramanathaswamy Temple 

The main attraction that pulls travellers to Rameswaram is, of course, the sacred and famous Ramanthaswamy temple . The temple is also known as Arulmigu Ramanatha Swamy Temple . The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, and one of the two Jyotirlingas located in South India. According to legend, the Shiv Ling was established by Lord Ram himself, on his way to Lanka.

There are 22 wells in the temple. It is customary to bathe in the waters of these 22 कुंड before proceeding for the darshan of the Lord in the sanctum sanctorum. The other famous feature of the Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple is its famous temple corridor which is said to be the longest of its kind in any Hindu temple in India. The outer corridor of the Ramanathaswamy temple in Rameswaram has 1212 pillars and is a stunning example of the aesthetics of Indian temple architecture.

For early risers, the Mani Darshan Rameshwaram is going to be a special experience. The darshan happens between 4.00 AM to 5.00 AM, and one can see the “Sphatika Linga,” being worshipped.

Agni Theertham

The main theertha of the Ramanathasway temple where visitors bathe before proceeding to the temple is the Bay of Bengal itself. The place where devotees take a sanctification bath is the Agni Theertham .

According to legend, Lord Ram on his way back to Ayodhya from Lanka, bathed in the waters of the Agni Theertham before worshipping Lord Shiva, as atonement for the sin of killing a Brahmin, Ravana. The Agni Theertham is one of the sacred theerthas that is located outside the Ramanathaswamy temple.

Sangumal Beach

The Sangumal Beach is easily accessible from Agni Theertham. If you are looking for stealing some moments of tranquillity from the hands of time, then you must head towards the sands of the Sangumal beach. The spiritual vibes of Rameswaram can be felt in the silence of this beach in the arms of nature.

The Sangumal beach is definitely not a beach for swimming, it is a beach to just watch the fishing activity and ruminate. There is a Childrens’ Park nearby, where kids can have some fun.

Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir

The Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir is another important place that you must visit on your Rameswaram Trip. It is a temple with a huge idol of Hanuman in black granite that stands outside the sanctum. Inside the sanctum sanctorum, there is a smaller idol of Hanuman, Ram and Sita. These idols were brought here from Dhanushkodi. Rameshwaram to Dhanushkodi distance is about 19 kilometres.

An important attraction of the Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman temple is the floating stones that can be seen here. Though the stones are heavy, they can be seen floating in the water. It is believed that these are the stones that were used by Lord Ram and his Vanar Sena to build a bridge (Ram Setu) to Lanka, as described in the Ramayana.

Pamban Bridge

If you look at the map of Rameshwaram, you will realize that Rameswaram is actually an island, surrounded by the waters of the Indian Ocean on all sides. The Pamban Bridge is what connects the island of Rameshwaram to the mainland of India . There is a Railway bridge and a road bridge that run parallel to each other.

The name Pamban Bridge actually refers to the Railway Bridge , however, both are collectively referred to as Pamban Bridge. The official name of the road bridge is Annai Indira Gandhi Road Bridge .

The bridge spans from Mandapam to Pamban , which is the starting point of Rameshwaram. The sight of a train cruising on the 2.2-kilometre-long bridge in the middle of the waters of the Indian ocean is spectacular. The bridge has been featured in many movies including Chennai Express.

The Pamban Bridge offers spectacular views of the Rameshwaram island, and it is a surreal sight to watch the arrival of a train from the road bridge. If you are near the Pamban bridge around sunset, you are treated to a magical sunset.

Rameshwaram Lighthouse | Pamban Lighthouse

If you love the romantic aura that envelops lighthouses, you are sure to like the Pamban Lighthouse. It is one of the two lighthouses in Rameshwaram . The original lighthouse dates back to the year 1845. It is located towards the east of the Pamban Bridge.

Vivekananda Memorial House Kundhukal

The Vivekananda Memorial set amidst serene surroundings is a beautiful and fitting tribute to the great mystic and monk, Swami Vivekananda. It is a beautiful and aesthetic structure that stands right opposite the Kundhukal Beach , about 8 kilometres from the Pamban Bridge. The memorial brings alive the stirring life and times of Swami Vivekananda through photographs and images of the monk.

The sunset from the Vivekananda Memorial House in Rameshwaram is also a surreal experience.

Day Two of Rameshwaram Itinerary

If you have decided to spend more time in the hallowed environs of Rameshwaram, which we recommend that you do, and are looking beyond a one day trip to Rameshwaram. We have lined up for you some more of the best places to visit in Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi .

Ramar Patham

If you are familiar with the Ramayana, you will know of the incident when Lord Ram stands atop a mountain and surveys the expanse of water stretching out to Lanka. He then decides to build a bridge to Lanka. Ramar Paatham , which literally means, “ Feet of Rama ,” is a temple built on a hillock. It is believed the hillock was a mountain in the times of the Ramayana.

Today the hillock happens to be the highest point in Rameshwaram and offers a panoramic view. The temple has the footsteps of Shri Rama engraved inside a Chakra in rock .

Lakshman Teertha

The Lakshman Theertha is a pond located not far from the main Rameswaram Temple. According to legend, Lord Ram’s brother Lakshman had installed and worshipped a Shivling here. During the festival known as Thai Poosam, a floating car procession is organized in the Lakshman Theertha.

Jada Theertham

The Jada Theertham is a holy pond that is located about 13 kilometres from Rameswaram. It can be visited on the way to Dhanushkodi. There is a small Shiva temple in front of the Jada Theertha. According to legend, Ram and Lakshman washed their Jada/Jata (hair), in this pond before they proceeded to Rameswaram, after killing Ravana in Lanka.

Dhanushkodi

Dhanushkodi , which was once a thriving village on the edge of the southern coast of India is today a ghost town . Ruins of a church, railway station , and other structures can be seen standing forlorn in the sand. Dhanushkodi was completely destroyed during a storm in the year 1964.

The Dhanuskodi Beach makes for a pleasant stroll as a strong wind blows across the Indian ocean. The beach is not very safe for swimming as the currents can be strong.

Rama’s Bridge | Adam’s bridge | Ramar Sethu Palam | Rama Setu

Rama’s Bridge is a land path that is seen beneath the waters of the ocean. It is near the Palk Straits and leads from Rameswaram to current day Sri Lanka. Many believe that this narrow landmass that has been revealed by satellite imagery is the remains of the bridge, which is the bridge that was built by Lord Rama with his Vanara army.

The Rama’s Bridge is also termed as Adam’s Bridge and connects Pamban island in India and Mannar Island in Shri Lanka, along the Palk Strait.

Day Three of Rameshwaram Itinerary

By day 3, you would have definitely fallen deeply in love with the vibes of Rameswaram island . There are still many more beautiful places to visit in Rameshwaram, as part of your sightseeing at Rameswaram .

Ariyamaan Beach | Kushi Beach

When it comes to Rameswaram beaches, there are around 7 beaches on the island. The main beaches in Rameshwaram are; Agni Theertham, Dhanushkodi, Ariyamaan, Olaikkuda, Viloondi Theertham, and Pamban beach .

The Ariyamaan Beach which is also known as Kushi Beach is a picturesque beach with gentle waves caressing the shores. A lovely beach getaway that is located about 27 kilometres from Rameswaram.

Abdul Kalam Memorial Museum | House of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

If you are in Rameswaram, how can you afford not to visit the house of its most famous resident, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam . The memorial is a tribute to the “Missile Man,” of India. He lies in eternal sleep beneath the memorial. There is a museum that brings alive the inspiring life of one of India’s most loved presidents, through more than 800 paintings and 200 photographs along with other exhibits.

Sea World Aquarium

The Sea World Aquarium , is a fascinating place, especially for those interested in the creatures of the sea. The Aquarium is located near Rameswaram Bus Stand and close to the Abdul Kalam Memorial Museum . The Aquarium has a range of aquatic and marine life which includes octopus, sea lizard, rabbitfish, clownfish, and parrotfish, among others.

Villoondi Theertham | Villuvandi Theertham

The Villondi Theertham is a beach and is also one of 64 sacred theerthas or water bodies in Rameswaram. There are 22 of these thirthas within the Ramanathaswamy temple .  What is unique about the Villoondi Theertham is that it is a sweet water spring in the middle of the saline seawater . According to legend, Lord Rama had generated the sweet water spring by shooting an arrow into the sea, to quench the thirst of Sita, on the way to Ayodhya from Lanka.

Wow… Your description is filled with such specifics and precision. I’ll save this for future travels. Loved going through all the pictures. Thank you for going into such detail on each; you’ve done an excellent job with this post.

Your posts are always so enriching and I learn something new with each of them. All the pictures are truly wonderful. Sangumal Beach was truly soothing. I have been to Rameshwaram bu it was a very short trip. Now whoever I will go, I know what all I have to cover.

My parents have visited ramsehwaram few years ago and had a great experience with their trip. somehow, I had missed the chance to join them on this trip. would love to visit this divine place with my family, when visit India next time.

I have been studying about Rameshswaram and the Pamban Bridge since a boy. It’s a curious admixture of the epics, history and geography. I am yet to visit these places but your post was like virtual tour. But now I am even more motivated to see these places for real.

This post has come at the correct timing for me! We are planning for Rameshwaram this summer and even more excited after reading this post!

What a lovely itinerary! Any itinerary that covers the famous Arulmigu Ramanatha Swamy Temple and its outer corridor with 1212 pillars has to be great, isn’t it 😊 I like it that your post also has the best places to visit in Rameshwaram.

A very well researched and detailed blog on the place. Pictures of the temples, bridge and the beach are enticing enough to plan a trip to Rameshwaram.

I have only heard about Rameshwaram but never been there. You have shared a wonderful itinerary and I am sure the trip there would be a splendid one. Hopefully one day I will plan a trip there.

In my childhood, I used to think the Pamban bridge was made by Lord Ram to cross over to Lanka, LOL. Lovely post, as always you have shared the details so well. Rameshwaram is a place to visit once in a lifetime for sure, I would love to take my daughter there for these spectacular places.

Sounds a perfect itinerary buddy. I will love to plan a trip to Rameshwaram once we are hopefully out of the covid situation
