What to See in Dhanushkodi
Once the happening town with locals and holidaymakers, Dhanushkodi is now an abandoned town. It attracts tourists from all segments. Pilgrims visiting Rameshwaram temple, students & scholars visiting Kalam Memorial, and all other tourists make sure they make a trip to Dhanushkodi when in Rameshwaram. A drive on a beautiful and scenic 20 km road is an experience.
Pamban Bridge
Over 100 years old, this bridge connects Pamban Island to mainland India. Opened in 1914, Pamban Bridge is the first sea bridge in India and the longest till the Mumbai sea-link bridge was constructed. It is about 2.2 km long and is an engineering marvel. The bridge is the only link between the Indian mainland and the holy pilgrimage town Rameshwaram. It is difficult for anyone to forget their rail journey over this bridge. After the 1964 cyclone, the construction of a parallel road bridge was proposed. The construction started in 1974 and took about 14 years to complete the road bridge and was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister, Sh Rajiv Gandhi in 1988. Spend some time at the beach for its tranquillity, calmness and various shades of blues and greens.
If you are going in your vehicle, get down at the beginning of the bridge to feel the cool breeze at the quaint and virgin beach.
