Beach is very shallow and developed very nicely. Shower facility is available but closes sharp at 6pm. Very few garbage bins on Beach. Almost after 3pm due to low tide sea goes almost half km.in. so better to visiti in the morning. Sports activities also available. For scuba, snorkeling and kayaking advance booking is must. Activities also depend alot on tide timings. Same parking lot for Light House and shivrajpur beach. Lighthouse also closes at 6pm.

Witness Ramayan in action here. The place finds mention also in Valmiki Ramayan. Rameshwaram is well-known for its temple tanks but a place that is of special importance is the Villoondi Theertham. Legend has it that this was created with lord Rama shot an arrow to get fresh water from the sea to quench his wife Sita’s thirst. Located about 7 km from the Ramanathaswamy Temple, this place offers some stunningly beautiful and dramatic views of the sea. Incidentally, the place is named Villondi or 'buried bow' as it is believed to be the place where Lord Rama buried his bow and arrow. A long platform leads you to this holy well and it is magical to walk on it as you see the sea from both the sides. The water in the well is quite mysteriously sweet in spite of being surrounded by salt sea water all around and devotees believe it will do them good if they take a sip of this holy water. There is a small temple like structure adjoining this place and as you stand at the edge of the platform, you can see statues of gods and goddesses in the water bed. The sight is quite fascinating, just like the place itself. 2

Saraswati river is visible near the village mana, which is 5 kms from badrinath. From the parking, it is close to half an hour of steep track. However, once you reach, the origin of river saraswati is visible. At a short distance, saraswati river joins alaknanda river in mana village, to form Keshav prayag. Must visit if you visit badrinath.

This one of the holiest spots to bathe for Hindus and is also where the ashes of the dead are dissolved in the sea. It can be very crowded in the mornings. Millions of people converge here regularly. Clean become a bit messy. Holy experience for Hindus. For others, there might not be much to see.

This tank is considered holy and has a lot of small and big temples surrounding it. There is an island in the middle of the lake with a small temple called Chandana Mandapa.
