Adam’s Bridge (Rama’s Bridge)

Stretching gracefully across the turquoise waters between Talaimannar and Rameswaram (India) lies one of Sri Lanka’s most mysterious natural wonders — Adam’s Bridge, also known as Rama’s Bridge or Ram Setu. This chain of tiny sandbanks and limestone shoals is believed to be over 7,000 years old. According to legend, it’s the very bridge built by Lord Rama’s army of monkeys in the ancient Indian epic Ramayana. Today, it’s a breathtaking sight for travelers — a stretch of shimmering sand and sea that seems to touch the edge of the world.
