Hi everyone,

Firstly, thankyou to all friends and family who are journeying with us ....loving your company and your encouragement! 😀👋 Today was a spectacular day. One more day along the East coast of India....this time driving North / North East. Lovely Highway from Kanyakumari till Ramanathapuram and then NH 32 from Ramanathapuram to Rameswaram. Superb drive! A memorable day in many ways......finally, got to see the Pamban Palam (Bridge) ! India's longest Sea bridge until the Bandra- Worli Sealink came up. The new Pamban Bridge is under construction and this promises to be an Engineering marvel. Work is on at a frenetic pace, but maybe, 5 more years to completion...can't say for sure. This was followed by a visit to Dr. Abdul Kalam's Memorial at Rameswaram.....and then, on the prodding of golfing buddy Jopu, a drive from Rameswaram to Dhanushkodi (Ram Setu).....about 20 kms from Rameswaram......memorable, so scenic and the tranquil vast expanse of waters will forever remain etched in your memory! Highly recommended to anyone who visits Rameswaram...please visit Dhanushkodi. From Dhanushkodi to the incredible Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameswaram....an Architectural masterpiece! For Hindus, it is said that the 4 most holiest sites (Char Dham) are Badrinath, Dwaraka, Puri & Rameswaram. A visit to Ramanathaswamy temple after visiting Kashi (Varanasi) is supposed to bring Moksha to the soul. Most Hindus would consider themselves really blessed to visit Rameswaram and Varanasi in their lifetime.     

Later in the day, we visited the Ramar Patham temple in Rameswaram, where Sri Ram's footsteps are visible. 

In between all of this sightseeing, on the recommendation of our Hotel room boy, we had lunch at Pugadh restaurant, near our Hotel! Fabulous Chicken biryani with Prawn fry, Squid fry and Vajram fry😆

Our trip to Rameswaram has fulfilled one of those lifelong dreams...

Stay with us!
