Road Trip From Bangalore To Dhanushkodi

[Mahima]

Hi Team,

 

Thanks for this wonderful community! Just signed up & unable to contain my excitement & here I go....

 

We were planning a trip to Rameshwaram to see and soak in the beauty of the road stretch and sunsets at Dhanushkodi also known as a ghost village. September 1st week is when we plan on this.

 

Is there anyone else setting out to this place?

Please suggest best routes & places to stay...... advice from the experts.

 

Many thanks in advance

Mahima

You will, locals will say no one is allowed to stay after 530pm but come away from Dhanushkodi end point and take a spot on the beach between End point and Ghost village and settle down. We did the same and witnessed one of the best sunset ever with no one in that entire stretch!

We stayed at Hotel Rameshwaram Grand, which is right next to Rameshwaram railway station. It is a very good and clean hotel except for no inhouse restaurant running due to covid. Most of the hotels are not running inhouse restaurants due to covid.

 

All the roads are very good, but stay cautious and keep an eye on speed breakers which come out of nowhere!

 

We did the below circuit between July 23 and July 31. Our start and end point was Tirupathi.

 

It was a temple run for first three days and then a good break in Munnar for other 3 days.

 

Look out for lockdown / restrictions in TN and KL states!! We were lucky enough to finish and get out of KL just in time and a lockdown / RT-PCR test was mandated.

 

Hope this helps!
