    It’s lovely and once must visit place. Recommend going by private cab so you get time to halt and enjoy the scenic view. Day time is preferred. Train journey is nice but it’s hard to get tickets, booking happens well in advance

    An engineering piece of marvel. This is the only land way that connects Rameswaram island to the mainland and has been this way for over 50yrs now. Amazing how an entire island as large as Rameswaram is connected by just a single bridge. You will get the bridge just before you reach Rameswaram. There is a new railway bridge that is under construction. If you want to see a train on the bridge then you will need to go around 2.45 to 2.50 pm. If you plan to go on the train itself, then follow this option - works best. Take the train from Rameswaram railway station at 2.30 and get tickets for Mandapan station which is just after the bridge. Ticket cost is Rs. 30 for adult or child as it is minimum fare. The train comes early, so go soon and look for the NR coach and find a seat. Train takes a good 20 mins to cross the bridge which is nice. When you get down at the Mandapan station, walk about 5 mins to the main road and take any bus back to Rameswaram. We took an auto for Rs. 320. Hope this information helps.

    While driving to/from rameswaram we can see the iconic Pamban railway bridge from the road bridge which runs parallel to the rail bridge. It's really breezy up there and the place offers a great view of the sunset. If you are lucky you might even get to see the train pass by. Please make sure you DO NOT park your vehicle on the bridge as it blocks the traffic and causes unnecessary trouble.

    Pamban railway bridge is one of most attractive place. It connects Rameswaram by the bridge built in sea water nearly 2 kms 100 years back. Now also trains are going by this way daily. We enjoy while moving the train in this bridge. Everyone should visit this place. Another railway track work is in progress

    Nice place! No stopping in the middle of the bridge. There are guards who chase you away! The water is pristine and the sight of small boats is nice!

    Only less than a year from now, from March 2023, you will be able to go to Rameswaram from Mainland India through a much better, safer, faster and secure second bridge just adjacent to the present Pamban Bridge. The New Pamban Bridge is currently under construction since 2020. In mid-2022, the Ministry of Railways announced that a new railway bridge will be constructed near the old Pamban Bridge at a cost of β‚Ή 250 crores. This new dual track bridge is planned to be constructed in automotive mode, allowing two ships to pass this bridge at the same time. It will be India's first Vertical Lift sea Bridge. While the current bridge has the 'Scherzer' rolling lift technology in which the bridge opens up horizontally, to let ships pass through, in the new one, the 63- metre section will lift vertically upwards remaining parallel to the deck. It will be done automatically using sensors at each end. The new bridge will help the railways to operate trains at higher speed, carry more weight and increase the volume of traffic between south-eastern Tamil Nadu and Rameswaram Island. Indian Railways began the construction work on the new bridge in the starting point of the bridge in the mainland section of Mandapam in mid-2020. It was expected to be ready by March 2022, but got delayed to March 2023 due to COVID-19.

    Engineering wonder of the year 1914, built by British to increase trade with Ceylon (Nowadays Shree Lanka); over the sea to connect mainland India with Pamban Island & Rameswaram. Forty feet above the sea, two kilometers long but width looked narrow for narrow gauged train. Best part was the central opening double leaf bascule to let boats pass through. A beautiful scene to watch, we went through higher Indira Gandhi road bridge but spent times to take photos & enjoyed the scenery. This historic bridge must be well preserved.
