Jada Tirtham is a natural pond known for its crystal-clear water. The pond is believed to have curative properties because of the roots of the banyan tree, bamboo trees, and other medicinal herbs that surround it. The pond is a great place to cool off on a hot day while enjoying the serene beauty of nature. You can experience a thrilling dive from the top of the 15 feet high bridge into the pond as well as enjoy the jetty ride towards the sea.
Located on the east coast of Rameshwaram is a virgin beach with golden sands and clear blue water. It is perfect for swimming and capturing the sunrise and sunset. You can also participate in adventure activities such as camping, snorkeling, banana ride, parasailing and fishing. Adventurous types can visit the nearby Villoondi Tirtham Beach where the legendary Sri Rama and Lakshmana are believed to have bathed.
Dhanushkodi is a ghost town with dazzling beaches and crystal-clear waters, surrounded by the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. The journey to this magnificent place is an enjoyable one with trains, buses, and jeeps available for hire. At the beach, adventurous activities such as camel rides, jet ski rides, and water sports are available. Visit the historical town and temple ruins for a historical adventure experience. Do not miss the breathtaking sunset view.
For those with less time, Dhanushkodi alone can be enjoyed for a full day trip. If you have more time, add a visit to the Ramanathaswamy Temple, known for its intricate architecture and religious significance to Hindu pilgrims, to your itinerary. Do remember to carry sunscreens, hats, umbrellas, and water bottles as the locations are hot and humid.
