Begin your Rameswaram journey with a visit to the prestigious Ramanathaswamy Temple, an iconic temple known for its majestic architecture, 22 temple wells, and the belief that visiting this temple liberates one from their sins. The temple premises include shrines dedicated to deities, which belong to the Hindu religion.
Explore the serene and picturesque Dhanushkodi Beach. The beach is situated on the tip of the Rameswaram Island, and it is said that the beach is where Lord Rama’s Bridge ends. Enjoy the panoramic views and take a dip in the refreshing waters.
Your final day in Rameswaram will be spent at Ariyaman Beach. This beautiful sandy beach is ideal for swimming and water sports. Relax and enjoy the spectacular sea view and also relish seafood treats served by vendors on the beachside.
If you have additional time, you can visit the Water Bird Sanctuary, which is known for migratory birds visiting the area from September to March. If the temple is crowded, it’s best to visit during non-peak hours early in the morning or late in the evening to get a better experience. There are many local markets on the streets of Rameswaram that offer traditional handicrafts that make for great souvenirs.
