Dear All,
Help Required!!
How do i reach Dhanushkodi from Rameshwaram? I have been told to share an auto between RMM and mookundaraya chattiram and further another shared mini truck/auto to the Land's end at Rama sethu.I have a few questions though
.
1.

more...
Is it possible for me to walk from mookundaraya chattiram to Dhanushkodi town/rama sethu point at arichulmunai or would it be too marshy and impossible to walk? I dont mind as long as the distance is less than 10 km to walk.
.
2. Whats the time taken by TNSTC buses between RMM and MDU, i need to return to HSRA by Tuticorin-MYS exp boarding at MDU.
.
3. What would be the ideal fare to be paid to the share auto's between RMM-mookundaraya chattiram and further to Dhanushkodi, so that i have an idea and dont fall into the trap of exaggerated prices for tourists, if any.
.
Would greatly appreciate your help.
Cheers!!

This is taken from an Indian travel blog.
"From Rameshwaram, you can ride/drive upto 20 Kms towards Dhanushkodi, the last 5 Kms strecth has be seen either by foot, with a good 4X4 car.. Since we didn't have a car we decided to utilize the Bus Service facility on the Beach (charging Rs 100/ per head) which will cover last 5 kms from Dhanush Kodi Beach to the Extreme Corner of the Indian Territory.. Bus facility takes us for a tour around Old Dhanushkodi town and the so called Last Point of Indian territory.. It was about 6:45 pm when we reached this last point.. I am sure from this so called last point where bus takes us, there is more of

land next to it and it is said that Sri Lankan coast from that point is just 30 Kms away by sea.... The dim light restricted both of us to go till that end at that time..."

Hope this helps. Looks quiet swampy. I was there in 2009 and it was really hell to walk and top of it smelt very bad of dried fish. Very nauseating.
