Travel To Rameshwaram

Although Rameshwaram is a small town in Tamil Nadu, but its popularity as a temple town and as an important pilgrimage spot has ensured that it has great connectivity to most locations across the country. For those arriving from within the state, the best option is to go for road transfers or railway journeys. For those traveling from a distant place, the best thing to do is to take a flight. Although there is no Rameshwaram airport, the closest airport is in Madurai, which is a mere 170 kms away from the city center of Rameshwaram. If planning to enjoy the most scenic train journey to Rameshwaram, then the best and most availed Rameshwaram train route is the one that connects Chennai to Rameshwaram. Those planning to explore the place on their own, without a guide, would be best advised to take along a Rameshwaram route map for enjoying the trip without any hassles. The best part about such maps is that one can easily pin-point Rameshwaram temple locations on it, making sightseeing even easier.

There are no airports in Rameshwaram. In fact, the nearest airport to the Rameshwaram temple is in Madurai, from where the town center is almost 170 kms away. This journey can be completed via local buses, private taxis, self-driven vehicles or trains. For those traveling from far-off destinations to Rameshwaram, taking a flight to Madurai is the best option, in order to save time. Also, for visa formalities, the distance between Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka is best covered by a flight. On landing at Madurai airport, one can transfer to Rameshwaram via train or road. Sadly, the answer to the question of how to reach Rameshwaram by flight is that it is impossible, not until an airport is built here.

For those wondering how to reach Rameshwaram by train, there are a plethora of trains that bring people to this temple town. Although there is a shortage of direct trains to Rameshwaram from most cities across India, it is very well connected to cities within the southern states of India. For instance, the distance between Chennai and Rameshwaram is best covered by a train. Rameshwaram Express is one of the most popular trains among pilgrims and other tourists. The Rameshwaram express route is one of the shortest journeys one can hope to undertake from Chennai to get here.

If planning to travel from Ooty to Rameshwaram, road transfer is the best option. The distance between Madurai and Rameshwaram is also best covered by road.

Ankit's 2 days trip to Rameshwaram

Booking experience was very smooth and easy. Our stay was excellent. The resort was worth a 5 star. Food was awesome,staffs were very friendly and helpful. The ambience was superb, location is very good. We faced some problem regarding the car and the driver. The person is very money minded and did skip couple of places. Please try to assign a young driver next time. Also, take the full responsibility to pay the amount to the transportation and the resort/hotel next time. Please assign a good car next time as we had to wait for more than 2 hours in pykara as the car did not respond because of battery problem. Please keep these couple of points the next time I am planning any tour. The stay The places we had visited

Kaushik's 8 days trip to Rameshwaram

The entire trip was planned really well and we were very happy with the arrangements. Our cab and driver was very helpful and he ensured we covered all the locations that are planned. The hotel in Kanakumari and Pondicherry could have been better as the break fast and rooms were not expected , the best arrangement was in Rameswaram and the hotel Arjuna was really good. The only challenge which i see is i did not get the trip invoice requested for claiming my TA and did not get any support from the agent. It would have been a great if i was supported on this front.
