About Rameshwaram Tourism

Rameshwaram, a coastal town in the state of Tamil Nadu, is located on Pamban Island. It is popular as a temple town, and is considered a much-revered pilgrimage site. It is one of the Char Dhams, which must be visited by a Hindu in order to attain Moksha on dying. Devotees of Lord Shiva from all over the world make it a point to visit Rameshwaram and Rameshwaram Temple among the many other religious spots here. The Rameshwaram shivling is one of the most famous lingas in the country, and warrants a visit. Read on to know all about Rameshwaram, and how to get the most out of a trip to this temple town. This Rameshwaram city guide offers all information that a traveler might require in order to enjoy a visit to this temple town.

One of the most famed points of Rameshwaram sightseeing is Rameshwaram temple. When talking about Rameshwaram temple, there are several interesting facts that a traveler or a pilgrim must know before paying a visit. This 17th century temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and is considered one of the 12 jyotirlingas that one must visit to attend nirvana. The temple has been constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, and has a sense of peace and quiet that is associated with any religious place. The Rameshwaram temple darshan timings are from 5:00 am to 6:00 am, then 12 noon to 1:00 pm and various other timings for different poojas and different idol worshipping. Visitors must make sure to adhere to the timings at the temples of Rameshwaram.


Although famed as a religious destination, there are several other places to visit in Rameshwaram that might interest those who are not into religious sites. From fascinating museums to serene beaches, from delicious street food at local markets to adrenaline-pumping adventure rides, Rameshwaram is a great place to experience it all. Other Rameshwaram India points of interest include Adam’s Bridge, which is also known as Rama Setu and is a bridge that finds mention in Hindu mythology as the bridge Lord Rama built to get to Ravan’s kingdom. The bridge is nearly 30 kms long, and is partially submerged underwater. Other must-visit attractions of Rameshwaram include Water Bird Sanctuary, Annai Indira Gandhi Road Bridge, Pamban Bridge among others.

When on a Rameshwaram trip, one must also indulge in a few water sports activities. Although not usual fare on a Rameshwaram beach, water sports and adventure sports are available at select spots. One can indulge in scuba diving and snorkeling when here, or ride a jet ski into the rough waves for an adrenaline rush.

The above are only a few places that should be a part of any Rameshwaram tourism package, but in fact, there are many others that warrant a visit. Those looking to explore this temple town on their own might consider taking along a Rameshwaram map so that no sightseeing options are missed out on. Don’t wait any long for booking personalized Rameshwaram sightseeing packages for enjoying the best of such vacations.

This journey can be completed via local buses, private taxis, self-driven vehicles or trains.

Paresh's 6 days trip to Rameshwaram

Overall it was good arrangements, however, arrangement at Kanyakumari was not as desired. May be Travel Triangle should get involved more, it was the travel agency Back2holidays.com that was in touch with us, however, during the entire trip not a single communication was received from TT.

Alokananda's 5 days trip to Rameshwaram

We had a very pocket-friendly trip at Coorg and Ooty, thanks to Travel Triangle for arranging such a wonderful trip. The timings were perfect coinciding with the nature's intricate way of displaying it's beauty throughout our trip. We started our trip from B'lore to Coorg and reached our destination at night due to traffic along the way but the Jungle Hill Resort was mesmerizing and quite well kept with a 4-bedded deluxe room. We visited the spectacular Golden Temple or one of the largest Tibetan Monastery which is also known as Namdroling Monastery. It encompasses the large school for the young monks and bave beautiful small cafes and eateries and souvenir shops for the tourist to check out. We found it had a beautiful view of the jungle and mountain view in the morning. The food was on the expensive side but we had breakfast buffet included in our package. Abbey Falls and the views of the meadows of Mandal petti were breathtaking. At Puspagiri National Park, it didn't feel like we were in India that showcased the best views of Nilgiri Hills adorned with the Nilkurungi plants. Rest of the places to visit were good but their slight overpriced such as Coffee Plantation tour, Dubbare Elephant Camp. Our hotels rooms at Ooty were disappointing. Rooms received from Kemp's Cave at their neighbouring building called The Baron's who gave us rooms with dirty linens, broken window lock, malfunctioning bathroom door and intercom. It was difficult to communicate with hotel staff although the reception staff were fast in sending help. Only the linens were changed and bathroom door was fixed. Rest were not fixed during our two days stay. The sightseeing was very good especially what made our day was the toy train ride from Ooty to Coonoor. The whole place was standstill due to traffic during public holiday so we had to resort to walking down the hill to reach the Ugadamandalam Railyway Station in Ooty. Pykara Falls and Lake, Wenlock Downs are picturesque places to remember in this trip. We opted out to visit Tea Factory and Doddabetta Peak due to heavy traffic. Mr. Rahul Kumar from All India Holiday has helped us before and throughout our trip to customise it and with payments at every juncture to make it a hassle-free ordeal. He have been very hospitable, content and patient in managing our trip . Travel Triangle and team has yet again made it possible for us to collect the best memories from hills of Ooty and Coorg. The best part of this trip was the journey through Bandipur Tiger Reserve and Madumalai Tiger Reserve when heading towards Ooty from Coorg via Bangalore-Mysore-Ooty Highway. We were surprised to spots innumerous deers, peacock, peahens, monkeys, wild Elephants and Giant Indian Squirrels. The reserves are well maintained with strict rules that are followed while traveling through them. We were lucky to get the glimpse of this reserve twice and both the times we have got to spot the animals.
