"A great place to visit"

Posted by Sandeep
May 09, 2013

Rameshwaram Experience: Rameshwaram is a calm and peaceful city and the route to the city is very exciting. It is great to drive into Rameshwaran through the bridge over the sea which connects Rameshwaram to the main land.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: It is difficult to find good food in Rameshwaram. There are lot of restaurants but the food quality is average or poor. I loved the Dhanushkodi beach which I found awesome. I have seen lot of beaches but I did not find such a deep blue see anywhere. Lot of people think Rameshwaram is all about the temple but Dhanushkodi beach is a must see place. Please do not miss the bath from well water inside the temple.

Activities & things to do: There are not much activities to do but visit to the Dhanuskodi beach is adventurous.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: It is good to book a priest in the hotel who will guide us through all the rituals in the temple. If you are planning to perform puja in the temple please be aware that it would take a couple of hours to see the deity.

May 08, 2013

Rameshwaram Experience: Very good for overall destination within the rameshwaram, approchable for major of the surrounding sight seeing points. Town buses are available with good frequency and its pick up points are very close to the gujrat bhavan.

"Hotel Vinayaga, Rameswaram"

Posted by SESHADRI
Chennai
May 01, 2013

Rameshwaram Experience: Rameswaram is an important place for Hindus. People from all over India and overseas visit this temple town. The town is good for leisure travel and stay. Even good food is not expensive and some of the hotels are clean and hygiene. Nice sea shore with shallow water for bathing.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Ancient and epic places are there in and around Rameswaram. Do not miss the visit tip of India, the closest point to Sri Lanka. Some of the local residents near the temple serve tasty and cheap food. Don't miss it. Good place for vegetarians, even though Rameswaram has many fisherman town within few hundred yards from the temple. Do not miss the temple where some of the rocks preserved from the bridge built by Hanuman is kept.

Activities & things to do: Take bath in the shallow sea water, enjoy good vegetarian food, visit the temple.. enjoy the sea breeze always..

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: travel by train is comfortable as you can watch the clear sea water while the train runs on the Ram-sethu Railway bridge. Keep adequate smaller denomination currency, like 10, 20 & 50 rupees. Also coins for the beggers (only very few found there). Nothing much worry on your personal belongings as the place looks safe. Auto drivers are very co-operative and well mannered. They don;t charge much and they have some uniform pricing policy. Over all good place to visit...

"VISIT RAMESHWARAM"

Posted by Suresh
Apr 29, 2013

Rameshwaram Experience: Nice place, but other than the temple and the area of Danushkodi there is nothing more to see for the tourist. The facilities at Rameshwaram are quite inadequate, and one must carry all that one will require during the stay. Even things like tea-bags are not available easily. The plus is that the people are very nice and helpful, and the city by and large is safe.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food - only local cuisine is available.

Activities & things to do: nil

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: nothing to recommend.

Rameshwaram Experience: The destination was very nice. It was like an island. There was water everyside. We visited the temple and the shallow beach the first day. We also visited the famous pamban bridge the bridge built over the ocean. The second day we went to devipattinam. The people who want to married soon and who do not have issues pray here and people there say the prayers were fruitful. From there we went to villundi theertham. This is the place were lord rama pierced and made a theertham to quench the thirst of seetha when he visited here. The was not salty in this theertham eventhough it was in the middle of the ocean. We also visited the hanuman temple and ramar patham. We also visited thanushkodi which was ruined during the tsunami in 1964. We saw the remains of the church. We also visited the house of kalam.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: The attractions here are the shallow beach. Don't miss to visit the house of kalam our former president. We had shopping in kalam's brothers shop adjacent to kalam's house. We purchased pen made of shell and accessories, comb set mala's etc.

Activities & things to do: have fun in the shallow beach. make purchases of shell items, lingams and shells pierced with our name and beloved.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Take advise from tamilnadu tourism board stall inside (entrance) to book a car or vehicle for sightseeing. We had a bad experience by booking a private vehicle. It is not advisable.
