Tourist Places In Rameshwaram

Some of the most popular Rameshwaram attractions include the Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple, also known as the Rameshwaram Temple, which is famed for its collection of lingas. It is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiv. Some of these lingas are built of sand, salt, stone, marble and various other material. Kothandaramaswamy Temple is another one of the most popular Rameshwaram tourist attractions. This temple is located on the beach, and houses idols of Sita, Ram, Lakshman and Hanuman. The Agniteertham sacred bath is also a place where one can spend some time. This is a sacred bath spot for pilgrims from all over the world, and is the only place of its kind that is located outside a temple complex.

The Ariyaman Beach is considered the best beach in Rameshwaram, and it is actually the best place to spend some time at with friends and family in the evening after a hectic sightseeing tour. It is a 150 m wide beach, which stretches on for at least 2 kms. There is also a museum, an aquarium and a children’s park here as well, offering plenty of entertainment options to visitors. The Dhanuskodi beach is another one of the immensely popular Rameshwaram local sightseeing places that one can spend time at.

Other options for Rameshwaram local sightseeing include the Ram Setu, or Adam’s Bridge, as it is also known. It is a historic bridge that has been constructed out of limestone shoals. It is said to be the mythological bridge that Lord Ram constructed for gaining entry into Lanka, the den of Ravan. The Water Bird Sanctuary also warrants a visit when here, since it is a great place to enjoy solitude and watch local and migratory birds.

There are also a few options for sightseeing near Rameshwaram, such as Ramanathapuram. It is an ancient town, with a once opulent palace being the best place for an exploration. Another important tourist place near Rameshwaram temple includes Erwadi, another pilgrimage spot. This one houses the 800 year old tomb of Saint Sultan Ibrahim Syed Aulia. In December, a festival to honor the saint takes place, which is attended by many visitors from around the country.

If enjoying a one day sightseeing in Rameshwaram, make sure to visit some of the most important temples, along with a few beaches to really get to know the place. If visiting for a longer duration, make sure to fit in all of the above places of interest on your Rameshwaram visit.

Ankitpatra's 4 days trip to Rameshwaram

We recently had a wonderful vacation to Ooty, and everything about the trip was simply perfect. Right from the cab arrangements to the hotel stay and sightseeing, everything went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. A special mention to our cab driver, Prakash. He was extremely professional, courteous, and friendly throughout the trip. His knowledge of the local spots and helpful nature made our experience even more enjoyable. He ensured we were comfortable at all times and assisted us with every little detail during the trip. Overall, it was a memorable and stress-free holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Omar's 3 days trip to Rameshwaram

Breakfast was not as per statement made by your travel agent. It should have an open breakfast buffet but the provided breakfast was very very poor which was served a poor veg restaurant. Lately breakfast charges were deducted from my final hotel payment. Driver was soft spoken and a nice person.

Priyami's 4 days trip to Rameshwaram

I recently had the pleasure of booking a trip through MM Cabs India, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, well-organized, and stress-free. From the moment I reached out, Mahesh from the team was incredibly responsive and attentive to my needs. He took the time to understand my travel preferences, budget, and interests, and crafted a personalized itinerary that exceeded my expectations. Every hotel and activity recommendation was spot on, making the trip unforgettable. • Expert Knowledge: They provided valuable insights about the best places to visit and local customs. • Hassle-Free Planning: All bookings, from cab to accommodations and tours, were handled efficiently. • 24/7 Support: He was available throughout the trip in case of any last-minute changes or concerns. Having a knowledgeable and courteous driver can make a huge difference in any trip, and Sharath was exceptional. • Punctual & Reliable: Always on time, ensuring we maximized our time at each destination. • Safe & Comfortable Ride: The vehicle was clean and well-maintained, and the driving was smooth and safe. • Local Expertise: Sharath not only took us to the must-see spots but also suggested off-the-beaten-path locations that made the trip extra special. I highly recommend MM Cabs India and Sharath for anyone looking for a stress-free and well-planned travel experience. Their professionalism, expertise, and warm hospitality made my trip truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a travel team that genuinely cares about your experience, look no further! Would definitely book with them again for my next trip.

Vaishnavi's 6 days trip to Rameshwaram

I overall had a great experience! The only thing I’d suggest is the hotel in Rameshwaram that was booked wasn’t good - it was very untidy and not upto the standard. But apart from that - everything was pretty smooth.
