The first sea link in India that also has a railway track across it, Pamban Bridge is the first thing that you will see when you enter the town. Pamban Bridge had its centenary celebrations in 2014. What you get to see is a bird’s eye view of the bridge that makes for a stunning visual spectacle. The place itself has several fishing boats on one side of the bridge besides water birds and Brahminy kites swirling around, making this a sight to behold. It’s a vantage point for photography as almost all vehicles stop here for the amazing view. The bridge has 143 piers, spanning 2.06 km between the mainland and the island. It is an architectural marvel and is designed in such a way that its central portion can actually open up to allow ferry movement. In fact until the road bridge was built in 1988, the Pamban Bridge was the only way to reach Rameshwaram. India's first cantilever bridge, this is also a stunning visual spectacle that must not be missed.
