Overview
Rameswaram is one of the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites and the southernmost Jyotirlinga, situated on Pamban Island in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The Ramanathaswamy Temple, with the longest corridor of any Hindu temple in the world (1,220 metres of ornately pillared hallways), is the island's centrepiece. The Pamban Bridge connecting the island to the mainland is India's first sea bridge, and the mythological Adam's Bridge (Ram Setu) — a chain of limestone shoals stretching towards Sri Lanka — is visible from the island's southern tip. The road from Mumbai to Rameswaram stretches 1800 km via NH 48 to Bangalore → NH 44 to Madurai → NH 49 to Rameswaram via Pamban Bridge, a comfortable 28-30-hour drive that many travellers find enjoyable. A dedicated cab from Mumbai to Rameswaram with Miles Tours combines affordability with comfort — sedans start from just ₹12/km for round trips.
NH 48 to Bangalore → NH 44 to Madurai → NH 49 to Rameswaram via Pamban Bridge Tamil NaduHistory & Significance
According to the Ramayana, Lord Rama worshipped Lord Shiva here before building the bridge to Lanka to rescue Sita. The Ramanathaswamy Temple in its current form was largely built by the Setupathy rulers of Ramnad between the 12th and 17th centuries. The island was connected to the Indian mainland by the Pamban Railway Bridge in 1914, an engineering marvel that includes a bascule section that opens for ship traffic.
