Rameshwaram

Go to the Ramalingeshwara Temple. This is an interesting place to visit in Rameshwaram.

When it comes to getting the best out of your precious vacation time, it's worth keeping in mind that Rameshwaram is merely the beginning; Tamil Nadu has been blessed with an abundance of scenic delights. Uchipuli, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the east, and Paramakudi, 55 miles (89 kilometers) to the east of Rameshwaram are worth visiting if you're keen to explore this region further.

Houses of the holy are often the best places to experience a community's big beating heart. The temples throughout Tamil Nadu are certainly no exception. Exercise your grey matter by visiting Tamil Nadu's palaces and history museums.

This region has a number of excellent places for boating, so ensure you leave time to fit that in. Surfing is another watersport here.

For many, the attraction of traveling to a new place lies in discovering new flavors, tastes and aromas. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the region's restaurants and cafés. Lentils and also spices are ingredients commonly used as part of meals. Masala dosa (thin crepe with dips) and sambar (lentil and vegetable stew) are commonly enjoyed by visitors and local foodies. To complete your local meal, be sure to try shahi tukda (bread pudding).

When the time comes to say goodbye to Rameshwaram, head to the nearest major airport situated in Madurai, 90 miles (145 kilometers) away.
