Frequently Asked Questions
How many days are recommended for a Pondicherry to Rameshwaram tour?
We strongly recommend a 2-day or 3-day round trip. Day 1: Drive to Rameshwaram via Pamban Bridge and witness sunset. Day 2: Agni Theertham bath, 22 Wells, Temple Darshan, and trip to Dhanushkodi / Kalam Memorial. Day 3: Leisurely return or stopover at Madurai / Thanjavur.
Can your cab go all the way to Dhanushkodi (Arichal Munai)?
Yes! With the modern paved highway NH87, our cabs can drive you directly to Arichal Munai (the end point of India) where the road ends and the ocean begins.
What are the timings for the 22 Theertham bathing inside the temple?
Theertham bathing generally starts from 5:30 AM to 1:00 PM and resumes from 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM. We recommend finishing this early in the morning before long queues develop.
Are there extra charges for driver stay and night allowance?
Driver night allowance (Bata) is standard and clearly specified in advance (typically ₹400-₹500 per night). No extra room rent or food expenses are demanded from the customer.
