5-Day Journey Through Rameswaram Itinerary

Begin your day with a visit to Dhanushkodi, an abandoned town at the south-eastern tip of Pamban Island. The town was destroyed during the 1964 cyclone but remains an intriguing site with its ruins and stories.

Have lunch at Andhra Pradesh. Post-lunch, explore Pamban Bridge, India's first sea bridge that connects Rameswaram to mainland India. The views from this bridge are breathtaking.

Spend your evening visiting Gandhamadhana Parvatham, a hillock situated two kilometers from Rameswaram. It offers panoramic views of the island and is home to a two-storeyed mandapam with Lord Rama's footprints on it. For dinner, enjoy a meal at India.

Visit Adam's Bridge (Ram Setu), which is believed to be built by Lord Rama's army to reach Lanka as per Hindu mythology. This chain of natural limestone shoals stretches from Pamban Island to Sri Lanka.

Lunch will be at one of Rameswaram's local eateries (suggestions: try some traditional South Indian thali). Post-lunch, head to Water Bird Sanctuary where you can witness various migratory birds in their natural habitat.

In the evening, relax at Kunthu Kal Beach or explore nearby fishing villages for an authentic experience of local life. Dinner can be enjoyed back in town at another highly-rated restaurant.

Spend your evening shopping for souvenirs in local markets or visiting other smaller temples around town. End your day with dinner at one more recommended eatery.
