After almost a year we are planning for long road trip of 5 days covering Rameshwaram - Kanyakumari – Madurai and surrounding places in 3rd week of October. Below is the rough plan for our trip:
Day 1:
Start at morning 6:00 am from Bangalore and drive straight to Rameshwaram. Plan to reach Rameshwaram by evening. Planned stopovers: Breakfast at Dharmapuri and Lunch at Madurai (bypass area).
Can anyone suggest good veg hotels for breakfast and lunch?
Day 2:
Morning visit to Dhanushkodi. I am totally impressed by Ram sir’s travelogue, hence this is must visit place for me. We are planning to spend as much as time at this place.
Rest of the day: visit to temple, beach and Dr. Kalam’s House
I have one question, for visit to Dhanushkodi. I understand that we need to rely on local 4x4 vehicles to visit this place. Can we arrange hotel pick up of these vehicles? Or do we need to drive down to designated place and from there these vehicles are available? Any pointers on this front is greatly appreciated.
Apart from above listed places, is there any other interesting place to visit in Rameshwaram ?
Day 3:
Travel towards Kanyakumari and reach hotel by 12:00 noon. Rest of the day visit Vivekananda Memorial, Beach, Gandhi memorial, Temple, Sunset Point etc.
Any other interesting place to visit?
Day 4:
Checkout from Kanyakumari hotel after breakfast and visit following places: Vattakottai Fort, Padmanabhapuram Palace, Thirparappu Falls OR Manimuthar Waterfalls OR Agasthiyar Falls and reach Tirunelveli for dinner and stay.
Out of these three falls, which one is good for kids to enjoy in water?
Day 5:
Visit temple in Tirunelveli and head towards Madurai. Visit temples in Madurai and by night reach Bangalore.
Now about ride and driver and passengers
I am planning to take my Brio (Honda Brio Petrol). Currently it has done 10K with 3 long journeys (> 400kms) in past two years.
For journey total 4 adults and 2 kids will be there. Drive will be done by me and Brother in Law with spare driver as my better half (only on empty highways ).
Any suggestions on above plan are highly welcome.
