Dhanushkodi

A visit to Dhanushkodi takes your breath away and is a visual treat with incredibly beautiful views of the clear blue sea. Dhanushkodi was a major point of entry to India until 1964, when a cyclone devastated the entire town, washing away the railway track, a steam engine and its carriages, and the entire village. Only a few fisher folk now live here. One can now reach Dhanushkodi either on foot along the sea shore by the sand dunes or in jeeps and tempos of fishermen. A ride down this 20 km long straight road leading to the ruins of the township is an exciting experience in itself.
