Dhanushkodi is a ghost town at the eastern tip of Rameswaram Island, once a small port with a railway station and church, destroyed by the catastrophic 1964 cyclone that killed 1,800 people and wiped out the settlement in a single night, making it one of the most atmospheric highlights of Rameswaram tourism and Rameswaram sightseeing often included in every Rameswaram travel guide and Rameswaram trip.The ruins include church walls, station platforms, and small house foundations now partially reclaimed by sand, creating a stark landscape that is one of the most unique places to visit in Rameswaram and a key stop in Rameswaram tour packages and things to do in Rameswaram.The road to the very tip of the island runs between two seas, the Bay of Bengal on one side and the Gulf of Mannar on the other, adding to the experience of Rameswaram sightseeing.On clear days, the Ram Setu sandbar, believed in tradition to be the remnant of Rama’s bridge to Lanka, is visible, making it one of the most iconic views in Rameswaram tourism for those who visit Rameswaram and stay in Rameswaram hotels.
