Pamban Bridge

Pamban Bridge connects Rameswaram island to mainland India over the Palk Strait — a spectacular 2.05 km cantilever railway bridge completed in 1914 that was India's longest sea bridge for 100 years. The adjacent Pamban Road Bridge offers stunning ocean views and dolphin sightings. The rail bridge opens in the middle to allow ships through — one of India's most dramatic engineering sights. A top Rameswaram photography destination and Tamil Nadu engineering heritage landmark.
