A bachelorette photo-op awaits at Pamban Bridge, which is a 2.3-kilometre-long railway bridge that connects Rameswaram to mainland India. Walk on the pedestrian path and enjoy panoramic views of the ocean and the surrounding islands. Take a moment to snap some pictures dressed in traditional south Indian sarees with your girl gang.
Dhanushkodi Beach is one of the most picturesque beaches in India. The beach nestled between Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean, appeared differently which makes it a unique destination. It is the easternmost tip of Rameswaram Islands. Visitors can enjoy the serene atmosphere, sand dunes against the sea and the ruins of the ancient town that was destroyed in a cyclone. It's an excellent spot to end your Rameswaram holiday with a beach party.
If you have more time on Day 1, visit former Indian President Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam's memorial and museum which is open until 5 PM. On Day 2, add Indira Gandhi Bridge to your itinerary, as it offers a beautiful view of the sea from a height of 30 feet. If you have less time, consider skipping Pamban Bridge, and spend more time in the temple or exploring the town's local markets.
