Dhanushkodi Ghost Town
Until December 1964 this was a busy port with a railway station, a church, a post office and a ferry service to Sri Lanka. A cyclone and storm surge swept the town away in a single night, along with a passenger train approaching the station. The ruins that remain, weathered coral-stone walls standing in open sand, are hauntingly quiet. Fishermen still live here in simple huts and sell shells and fried fish.

Arichal Munai
The very end of the road, where a circle topped with the national emblem marks India’s land’s end. On one side the water is shallow and calm; on the other it is darker and rougher, and the meeting of the two is clearly visible. A shoal line running towards Sri Lanka marks the start of Ram Setu, or Adam’s Bridge. Swimming is unsafe here, however inviting the water looks.
Kothandaramaswamy Temple
On the Dhanushkodi road about 12 kilometres from Rameswaram, this small temple is where Vibhishana is believed to have surrendered to Lord Rama. It was the only structure in the area to survive the 1964 cyclone, which gives it special meaning for visitors, and the causeway to it offers wide sea views.
Ramanathaswamy Temple
The reason most people come. One of the twelve Jyotirlingas and one of the four Char Dham, the temple is famous for its pillared corridors, among the longest of any temple in India, and its 22 sacred wells, or theerthams, where pilgrims bathe before darshan. Expect crowds at dawn and on festival days, and carry a change of clothes.
Agni Theertham
The beach directly east of the temple, where pilgrims take a ritual dip in the sea before entering Ramanathaswamy. The water is calm and shallow, and the morning scene, with families, priests and sunrise over the Bay of Bengal, is a quintessential Rameswaram sight.
Dr APJ Abdul Kalam National Memorial
Rameswaram is the hometown of the former President and missile scientist, and his memorial at Pei Karumbu, opened in 2017, displays his life through models, paintings and personal belongings. His family home on Mosque Street, now the House of Kalam museum, is a short drive away. Both are excellent for students.
Pamban Bridge
The link between the mainland and the island. The original railway bridge, opened in 1914, was India’s first sea bridge, and its successor, opened in 2025, is India’s first vertical-lift sea bridge. Your cab crosses on the Annai Indira Gandhi road bridge alongside, and the viewpoint at its centre is the best spot to watch fishing boats pass below.
Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple
A small temple known for its floating stones, pumice-like rocks believed to come from the construction of Ram Setu. The five-faced Hanuman idol and the stones in their water tank make it a quick but memorable stop, particularly for children.
Gandhamadhana Parvatham
The highest point on the island, about three kilometres from the temple, with a shrine holding an impression believed to be Lord Rama’s footprints. The view across the island to the sea on both sides is best at sunset, and it takes less than an hour.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Little England of the British era
Your cab heads out along Hosur Road, past the Electronic City flyover, and crosses into Tamil Nadu at Attibele, where the interstate permit is checked. Starting early matters more on this leg than on any other: before six the run to Hosur takes under an hour, while after eight it can double. Hosur sits on a plateau nearly 900 metres high, and its cool, pleasant weather led British officers to call it Little England. Today it is a manufacturing town known for two-wheelers, trucks and aerospace parts, and for the greenhouses that grow roses for export. There is little to see from the highway, so drivers usually carry straight on and stop for tea once the traffic thins beyond the town. From here the NH44 runs as a wide four-lane road almost all the way to Madurai.
Mango Capital of South India
The plateau gives way to boulder-strewn hills and orchards, and within the hour you reach Krishnagiri. Mango groves line the highway on both sides, and from April to July the fruit stalls here are among the best on any road out of Bangalore, with Banganapalli, Alphonso and the local Totapuri piled high. The town takes its name from its black granite hills, and the ruins of a fort sit on the summit above. The Krishnagiri Reservoir lies a few kilometres off the highway. Because the Chennai highway branches off here, the junction is busy with trucks, but a clear flyover keeps things moving. Krishnagiri is the classic breakfast stop, with large, clean restaurants serving hot pongal, vadas and filter coffee from dawn.
Steel City of Tamil Nadu
A fast stretch through Dharmapuri district brings the Shevaroy Hills into view, and the highway sweeps into Salem on the bypass. Salem is known as the Steel City for the Salem Steel Plant, and it is also a major centre for sago, handloom silk and the region’s famous mangoes. Yercaud, the hill station above the city, is a steep 30 kilometre climb away and a good add-on for the return journey. Your driver stays on the bypass, so city traffic never slows the trip. Salem’s highway plazas are clean and well-run, making this a comfortable mid-morning halt for coffee and restrooms. Elapsed time is roughly three and a half hours.
Textile City of Tamil Nadu
South of Salem the land flattens and the first large poultry farms appear, a sure sign you are near Namakkal, which produces more eggs than any other district in India and calls itself the Egg City. The town’s landmark is the Anjaneyar Temple, where an 18-foot Hanuman stands open to the sky facing a Narasimha shrine across the road, beneath a rock fort. It is one of the most worthwhile short stops on the route. Forty kilometres on, Karur is one of India’s largest exporters of home textiles, bed linen and curtains; the factory outlets near the highway sell export-quality linen at surprisingly low prices. The Kalyana Pasupatheeswarar Temple on the Amaravathi river is the town’s spiritual centre. Elapsed time: about five hours.
Temple City and the City That Never Sleeps
The road bends south-east through farmland to Dindigul, where locksmiths have hand-forged heavy padlocks for more than a century, earning it the name Lock City. It is even better known today for Dindigul biryani, made with short-grain seeraga samba rice, and most groups time lunch here. The rock fort above the town was held at different times by the Madurai Nayaks and Tipu Sultan. Another hour brings you into Madurai, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in India. The Meenakshi Amman Temple, with its towering painted gopurams and Hall of a Thousand Pillars, dominates the old city, and the streets stay lively late into the night, which is why Madurai is called Thoonga Nagaram, the city that never sleeps. We recommend the overnight halt here, with time for the temple’s evening ceremony.
Land of the Sethupathi Kings
Day two begins on NH87, a smooth road heading east through dry, open country dotted with palmyra palms. Paramakudi, the main town on this stretch, is known for its handloom silk and cotton saris woven by the Saurashtrian community, and small weaving units line its side streets. Further on, Ramanathapuram was the seat of the Sethupathi rulers, the traditional guardians of the pilgrim route to Rameswaram. Their Ramalinga Vilasam palace holds fine 17th century murals and is worth an hour. Uthirakosamangai, about 15 kilometres south-west, has an ancient temple famous for its emerald Nataraja. Past Ramanathapuram the air turns salty and the sea appears on the horizon. Elapsed time from Madurai: around two and a half hours.
Varanasi of the South
The road reaches the coast at Mandapam, the last town on the mainland and home to a large fishing harbour and a marine research centre on the edge of the Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park. Then comes the highlight of the drive: the 2.3 kilometre road bridge over the Pamban channel, with turquoise water on both sides and the rail bridges running just beside you. Your driver can pause at the viewpoint in the middle of the bridge. On the island, the road passes through Pamban town and Thangachimadam before entering Rameswaram, one of the holiest towns in India and often called the Varanasi of the South, since a pilgrimage to Kashi is traditionally completed here. Check in, then head to the temple or Agni Theertham.
Land’s End of India
The last 25 kilometres are the most striking of the whole journey. The road leaves Rameswaram past the Kothandaramaswamy Temple and then runs along a narrow spit of land with sea on both sides, sometimes only a few hundred metres wide. Until 2017 visitors had to switch to shared four-wheel drive vans on the sand; now a paved road runs right to the tip, so your cab can drive all the way. Stop first at the ruins of old Dhanushkodi, then continue to Arichal Munai for the land’s end. Access is generally permitted in daylight only, and visitors are asked to leave before sunset, so plan to arrive by mid-morning. Carry water, sunscreen and a hat, as there is almost no shade.
For Bangalore companies organising team pilgrimages, offsites that combine Madurai and Rameswaram, and visits to industrial sites along the route in Salem, Karur and Madurai. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO approval, one named driver for the whole trip and daily signed duty slips. The same corporate minibus bangalore stays with the team throughout, and our corporate travels bangalore desk manages everything from quote to invoice.
Our most popular package on this route, usually four to five days. A typical plan covers the drive to Rameswaram on day one, Dhanushkodi at sunrise and the temple on day two, the Kalam memorial and island shrines on day three, and a Madurai halt on the way home. For families completing a Kashi yatra, or performing pitru tarpanam at Agni Theertham, the driver builds the plan around the rituals and the priests' timings, and always waits close to the temple.
For temple associations, community groups and college trips where the cost per head decides the booking. Non-AC 12 to 17 seater mini buses, a clean vehicle and a verified driver on a simple point-to-point plan. The mini bus rate per km in bangalore is lowest on this tier, and on a round trip of about 1,250 kilometres the saving per person is considerable. Budget refers to vehicle specification only; maintenance and driver checks are the same on every tier.
Executive mini coach configuration with fewer, wider push-back seats, extra legroom and a quieter cabin, well suited to elderly pilgrims, VIP groups and milestone family journeys. Across two long days on the highway the extra comfort makes a real difference. For a premium small-group alternative on the same route, our force urbania rent bangalore service offers 13 to 17 seater Force Urbania vans.
Many groups combine Dhanushkodi with the great temples of the far south in a single six to eight day trip: Madurai, Rameswaram and Dhanushkodi, then south to Tiruchendur and Kanyakumari, returning via Tirunelveli. This is the most complete madurai rameshwaram kanyakumari tour package from bangalore, and the same vehicle and driver stay with the group for the entire circuit. Schools and colleges can also book the circuit through our college tour bus rental desk.
Our ac minibus rental bangalore fleet covers 12, 14, 17, 20 and 24 seater configurations, and every other group vehicle size runs from the same Bangalore base. If your headcount changes after booking, we can usually move you up or down a size without starting again.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated, with push-back seats, so we plan the Rameswaram trip as daytime driving with an overnight halt in Madurai or Rameswaram. This is safer, far more comfortable, and it means the group reaches Dhanushkodi fresh rather than after a sleepless night.

A 4:30 AM departure brings the group into Rameswaram in the early evening, well before the 9:45 PM cut-off for extra bata.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover, so passengers who want it should arrange their own travel insurance. All vehicles carry valid vehicle insurance and full statutory compliance.

Easy Booking Options
Simple reservations for regional and outstation trips.
The bangalore to dhanushkodi distance is approximately 620 kilometres to Arichal Munai via Salem, Dindigul, Madurai, Ramanathapuram and the Pamban Bridge. The bangalore to rameshwaram distance is about 600 kilometres. Driving time is 11 to 12 hours, and we recommend splitting the trip with an overnight halt in Madurai or Rameswaram so that Dhanushkodi can be visited in daylight.
Rates start from around Rs 30 per kilometre for a 12 to 14 seater AC mini bus and vary with seating capacity, AC or non-AC, and the number of days. Outstation hire carries a minimum of 300 kilometres per day. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance, while toll and parking, Tamil Nadu interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are charged separately. The final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and every item appears in the written quote.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms the booking and reserves the specific mini bus for your dates. It is paid digitally by UPI, bank transfer or card, a receipt follows within 30 minutes, and the balance is settled at the end of the trip.
Usually not, and we do not recommend trying. Dhanushkodi is open to visitors only in daylight, and a group leaving Bangalore at 4:30 AM reaches Rameswaram in the early evening. The better plan is to stay overnight in Rameswaram and drive to Arichal Munai before dawn for the sunrise, then return for the temple.
Yes. A paved road now runs the full length of the Dhanushkodi sandbar to Arichal Munai, and our mini buses drive the group right to the end point. Local authorities may restrict access during bad weather or high tides, and in that case the driver follows their instructions.
No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated with push-back seats, and we plan the trip as daytime driving with an overnight hotel halt, which is safer and more comfortable than travelling through the night.
Yes. Travelling from Karnataka into Tamil Nadu requires an interstate permit, which is billed at actuals. We arrange it before departure, and it is checked at the Attibele border near Hosur. The driver handles all formalities.
October to March is the most pleasant period, although October to December is also the north-east monsoon season, when cyclone alerts can occasionally close the Pamban road bridge or Dhanushkodi. April to June is very hot on the coast, so an AC mini bus is strongly recommended. Maha Shivaratri and the Amavasai days of Thai and Aadi bring huge crowds for ancestral rites, so book at least four to six weeks ahead for those dates.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure costs nothing, and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days. The charge is 10 percent of the total fare between 48 and 72 hours, 25 percent between 24 and 48 hours, and 50 percent between 12 and 24 hours. Multi-day outstation trips such as Rameswaram require a minimum 7-day notice for a full refund. If a cyclone warning or bridge closure prevents the trip, the advance is refunded in full within 2 working days.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance, so passengers who want cover should arrange their own travel insurance. All vehicles are fully insured and compliant, and every driver is verified. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your date, pickup point, group size and day-wise plan. A written quote follows within 2 hours. Confirm it, pay the 20 percent advance, and you receive the driver details, vehicle number and full billing breakdown in writing. Our mini bus booking online and WhatsApp lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
