I visited rameshwaram few weeks ago with my family as a tour. The place can be accessible from all parts of the tamilnadu and india. I stayed there over 2 days at a local hotel. the transport facilities like train, by air, and over night delux bus service are available. there are lots of local places available like ramanatha swamy temple, gandhamathan parvatham, pamban bridge, dhanuskoti etc.
The hotel temple tower is one of the low price star hotel at rameshwarm. you can stay there without any fear for personnel’s and others. you can visit near by areas like madurai meenakchi temple, trichi fort, tanjore temples etc.
