Best Time to Visit Rameshwaram

The summer season in Rameshwaram falls between April and September. The temperature rises a bit during this time, reaching 30 degrees Celsius with an average of 27 degrees. The humidity is higher, and it might rain a couple of days each month. It is neither the worst nor the best time to visit Rameshwaram. Tourists partake in sea-bathing and beach hopping quite a bit. Since this is the off-season for planning a trip to Rameshwaram, the lowered hotel rates and nearly empty public spots are something to look forward to. Rameshwaram has plenty of beaches where one can enjoy oneself. Aadi Thirukalyana Festival, Vasanthotsavam, and Ramalinga Pratishtha are celebrated during summer, attracting tourists and pilgrims.

The monsoon season in Rameshwaram, lasting from October to December, although more pleasant than summers, poses the challenge of roaming about amid torrential downpours. It rains 10 - 14 days each month, and temperatures decrease slightly. The weather is a little unpredictable, so it's good practice to keep an eye on weather forecasts before heading out. Though not the best time to visit Rameswaram, the monsoon season offers good weather and better views. One can also expect lesser crowds at the temples and tourist destinations, as well as some discounts and special packages from hotels.

Winter is the best time to visit Rameshwaram with family or friends. The season overlaps a bit with the monsoon season, and the earlier winter months are a bit rainy. From mid-December, the weather starts improving drastically. January, February, and, to the most extent, March are dry and cool. So, there is no need to worry about heat or humidity. You can enjoy sightseeing, lying by the beachside, and visiting temples without any hassle. The windy conditions are also favourable for those seeking watersports or other adventure sports. Some of the most important pilgrimages and temple festivals also happen during this time. One can attend the celebration of Arudra Darshanam, which is held in December.
