Starting the day with a visit to one of the iconic landmarks around town - the Pamban Bridge. It's a 2.3 km long railroad bridge that connects Rameswaram island to the mainland and offers beautiful views of the sea. There's a small park surrounding the bridge where you can picnic before starting your day.
Next, drive to the Gulf of Mannar National Park, which is home to diverse marine life such as turtles, dolphins and sea cows just to name a few. You can rent a boat and take a ride to see the beautiful coral reefs and abundant fish species.
Savour some mouth-watering local cuisine at Hotel Kuvalai. They offer a range of options including seafood and vegetarian dishes. It's a must-visit place if you want to taste some authentic local food in the city.
Dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathi Amman, Mandaikadu Temple is one of the most popular Hindu temples in the city. The temple is a beautiful blend of Dravidian and Kerala style architectures.
Visit the Uthirakosamangai temple, known for its beautiful intricate sculptures and paintings. The temple complex is also famous for its annual car festival.
Finally, end the day with a magnificent sunset at Sethu Karai Beach. It's a long stretch of clean sands and is relatively less crowded compared to other beaches offering tranquillity.
If you have extra time, take a trip to Rameswaram and visit Ramanathaswamy Temple, which is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Kalam Museum which is dedicated to India's former president. Alternatively, if you have less time, consider skipping Uthirakosamangai Temple and heading directly to Sethu Karai Beach.
