Where to Stay questions
Can you drive all the way to the tip of Dhanushkodi?
Yes. A sealed road now runs from Rameswaram out past the ruins to Arichamunai, the island's tip. The final stretch is exposed to sea and wind, so it is best travelled in daylight and settled weather, with local guidance.
What happened to Dhanushkodi?
A severe cyclone in December 1964 struck the town, washing away a passenger train and much of the settlement with heavy loss of life. The area was declared unfit for habitation and has remained a ghost town of ruins ever since.
Is it safe to visit?
Under normal conditions it is a popular, striking day trip. However, this coast is cyclone-prone and the sea can turn rough, so check local weather, heed official advice, and avoid the tip in storms or after dark.
