Next morning, we reached Rameswaram by 5:30am, refreshed ourselves at the railway guest house and went to the temple by local bus. We hired an auto for Rs.250 and visited the tourist spots. Then we started from there at around 11:30 and went to Ramanathapuram by bus. After reaching there, we checked into MKM lodge (Ph No.04567-222777) adjacent to the bus stop and took rest for a while.
At around 3:30, we went to the bus stop, waited for a long time to board the bus to Tiruppullani and reached the temple by 4:30. It is about 15km away from Ramnad.
After having a good darshan of Lord Jagannatha and Dharba sayana Ramar, as there were no frequent buses to Sethu samudram, we took an auto from Thiruppullani , had a dip at Sethu and returned in the same auto after seeking the blessings of Sethu bandana Anjaneya. Again we waited for a long time to get the bus to Ramanathapuram. It was 7:30 when we came back to the lodge.

On the 3rd day, we started at 6am and went to Devipatnam by bus to see the Nava pashanams adored by Lord Sri Rama. These nava pashanams are in the sea and hence visible only early in the morning. The surrounding area was insanitary but it was nice to see the idols in the sea. We came back to the lodge by 9:45am and took rest till 2pm. As we booked the ticket from Rameswaram, we were supposed to board the train there. So we left Ramnad at 2:30pm and went to Rameswaram again by bus and boarded the Chennai train at 5pm. By the grace of god, we successfully completed our trip as we planned. We could have covered all these places in 2 days but unknowingly we planned for 3 days for which reason we had plenty of time on the 3rd day.
