Must-Visit Sightseeing Spots in Rameswaram

1. Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple & 22 Theerthams

Famed for possessing the longest temple corridor in the world lined with over 1,200 intricately carved granite pillars. Pilgrims take holy baths in the Agni Theertham on the seashore followed by 22 domestic wells situated inside the temple complex before having darshan of the Jyotirlinga installed by Lord Rama.

2. The Pamban Road & Rail Bridge

Connecting the mainland at Mandapam with the island of Rameswaram, driving across the Annai Indira Gandhi Road Bridge provides an awe-inspiring panoramic view of the turquoise blue Palk Strait and the historical cantilever rail bridge.

3. Dhanushkodi Ghost Town & Arichal Munai

Located at the eastern tip of Rameswaram Island, Dhanushkodi was submerged during the devastating 1964 cyclone. Today, tourists can visit the preserved church ruins, the post office, and drive along the scenic coastal road all the way to Arichal Munai, the historic starting point of Ram Setu (Adam's Bridge).

4. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam National Memorial

A grand tribute to India's beloved "Missile Man" and former President. The memorial showcases his personal life, scientific achievements, and mortal remains in an architecturally stunning museum.
