    Pamban Island is located in Rameshwaram. It is one of the beautiful Island. Blue water seek your attention. Pamban bridge is India's first sea bridge. What a lovely place this is. Train bridge & Road bridge are parallel to each other. The train slowly passes through the bridge, such moment or such view is beautiful. I got opportunity to see train passing over the bridge & next day i passed this bridge while seating in train.

    Situated about 20 km from Rameswaram in the Pamban Island of TN, Dhanushkodi is a picturesque spot and one of the cleanest beaches in India. It is a preferred tourist spot with serenity and peace, azure sea, soft white sand, and ruins along its sandy shoreline. #IncredibleIndia

    Our tour bus stopped at the location of Pamban Road bridge for some time to have the view of the picturesque Pamban Island, the Pamban Railway bridge and the surroundings. Pamban island is also known as Rameswaram Island which is an island located between peninsular India and Sri Lanka. This island is obviously a part of India and it forms the Rameswaram taluk of the Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu state. Pamban bridge is the oldest railway bridge in India built in sea connecting mainland India and Rameshwaram island. It’s beautiful to watch the entire surroundings with innumerable boats spread over vast coast land.

    PLEASE DO NOT CARRY PLASTIC HERE EVEN IF YOU DO DUMP IT IN PROPER BINS. THESE KIND OF PRISTINE BEACHES SHOULDN'T BE TURNED INTO PICNIC SPOTS Awe-ed when initially visited, this was completely out of the world experience. Never saw any beach so clean and water was so pure πŸ–οΈ Imagine the cloudy weather with lite breezes here 😍 this is what we experienced. Beautiful weather plus stunning Beauty of the beach made our trip's day 1 exciting. This made us fall in love with the place If you are planning to visit Pamban island by car or bike then the following routes can be considered on arrival from nearby prominent cities and states. From Rameshwaram - 3 km via NH 87 From Mysuru - 570 km via NH 87 From Coimbatore - 400 km via NH 87 From Chennai - 600km via NH 38 From Madurai - 175 km via NH 87 Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, is an island located between peninsular India and Sri Lanka, on the Rama Setu archipelago. The second largest island in the latter, Pamban Island belongs to India and forms the Rameswaram taluk of the Ramanathapuram district of the state of Tamil Nadu. Pamban Island is located between the Indian Penninsula and Sri Lanka. Pamban Island is connected to mainland India via the Pamban channel. Apart from the ancient and religious significance, the island is also known for its rulers from the Chola Dynasty and Jaffna kingdom. The island was invaded by many traders from the west such as Britishers, and Dutches, because of its easy to access geographical location. After independence, the region came under the Ramanathapuram district in Tamil Nadu. Today Pamban Island is considered an offbeat destination for travelers. The island accommodates ancient temples for religious tourists, beaches for beach lovers, a sea rail bridge, and water sports for adventure seekers

    Pamban island, Dhanushkodi Overview If you are searching for a quiet recluse, Pamban Island is your go-to place. With luxurious beaches and the skyline dotted with tall coconut trees, this little island lies between the Indian peninsula and Sri Lanka. It forms the Rameshwaram taluk of the Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu. This island is separated from the mainland by the Pamban channel. Pamban is not only about religion, but it is also a nature lover's paradise. The island overlooks the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. Pamban Island is also known as Rameshwaram Island and houses one of the most famous pilgrimages in India -Β Rameswaram. Thousands of people from not only India but from all over the world come to visit the place from where Lord Ram had built the bridge to Sri Lanka to save his wife, Sita. Apart from being the part of a legend, this famous town of Pamban has the one-of its kind Ramanathaswamy temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Pamban Island had had various rulers in the past including Ragendra Chola, Jaffna rulers etc. before it was invaded by the Turks, Mughals and of course the British. But it has still managed to hold on to its heritage and individuality. After 1947 Pamban became a part of independent India.Β  Over the years, Pamban has become a popular holiday destination with much potential to improve its tourism further.
