Bangalore Rameshwaram Drive

---

6.30 AM -26th January 2012 we all geared up for 6 hourz drive to Pondicherry.Just crossed Krisnagiri toll - Green Arrows on NH7 poniting Madurai, Rameshwaram .Lets go Rameshwaram, to my surprise everyone in my family readily agreed within seconds and we started cruising towards Rameshwaram with full excitement.This was the first time I did this while travelling with family, countless times I have done dis before with my friends, planning for some place and changing plans on the fly.Its so adventurous n exciting -Do it if you havent tried it yet 😊

Driving directions to Madurai is simple.Drive towards Electronic City and you are on NH7.Drive straight on NH7 - the road goes straight to Kanyakumari passing through Salem Madurai. Madurai is about 450 Kms from Bangalore it will take maximum 5.30 hours.The road is 4 lane you have to cross 7-8 tolls and shell out Rs 500 till Madurai.I was able to manage 120Km/hr till madurai with small breaks did Bangalore Madurai in 4.30 hrz.

1 hour we lost in Madurai city to find out directions for Rameshwaram.Madurai to Ramehswaram is 180 kms and its 2 lane NH in very good condition but you cant mantain the same speed you did Bangalore - madurai.Another 3 hrz to to Rameshwaram.

Rameshwaram is a small laid back temple town of religious importance- wrong, its not just the temples you will find the finest beaches here in Rameshwaram.Check out the map of Rameshwaram, 1 side its Indian Ocean other side its Bay of Bengal.You can see 2 different colors mixing into 1.1 day you can easily spend on the beach and 1 day visit temple.



You wont find any 5 star accomodation but there are 2-3 3 star decent hotels you can stay.We checked into 1
