Life in the Deep South - Rameswaram

#LifeintheDeepSouth The Palk bay & Gulf of Mannar offers umpteen opportunity for exploring the coral reefs, the ghost town of Dhanushkodi & the Ramanathaswami Temple. We first arrived in this region as explorers trying to find secluded beaches, scenic surroundings & all the ingredients that add up to a perfect get-away on mainland India. It was stunning & since then we settled down. Choosing local & earthy material was our priority so we used a mix of coconut thatch, red brick, palm sticks & silver teak. The cottages were fitted with windows and doors procured from the heritage town of Karaikudi which is famous for Chettinad architecture. Each cottage has an ensuite western closet & open to sky shower. Your day starts with a spread of cereal, toast, filter coffee, tea, fruit & eggs to order laid out on our breakfast table surrounded by palm trees. Our co-ordinator will brief you on all the available options you can indulge in to make your day active or you can choose to lie down on our hammocks with a good book.... Choose from a variety of Discovery programs like Kayaking, Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, SUP, Sailing & Scuba diving in Rameswaram.

The Ocean Ambassadors Project

An initiative to create awareness amongst the youth about beach culture while exposing them to a variety of aquatic sport programs. Chosen youth would then be trained for certificate programs & coaching provided for national events. The value of the activity has to be paid for with trash collected by the kids.

Traditional fishermen understand the ocean better than anyone, behaving as ambassadors for the ocean. Their indigenous knowledge has helped sustain the economy in India for centuries. However, with rapid depletion of marine resources, fishing communities are the most adversely affected. We have been working towards skill development, economic empowerment and environmental protection in our village of Pirappanvalasai in Ramanathapuram district for 10 years. In a village primarily dependent on fishing for their livelihood, the locals are highly affected by the lack of marine life in the waters of Palk Bay. Moving forward with our work in the fishing community, we propose to initiate an artificial reef program to boost fish stocks and preserve traditional livelihoods.

An initiative by the team at Quest Academy & Suneha Jagannathan with special thanks to Tamil Nadu Fisheries Department & other stakeholders of the ocean.

KITESURFING IN RAMESHWARAM ADAM'S BRIDGE INDIA

December 2014 Kitesurfing in India Tamil Nadu

SAILING IN SOUTHERN INDIA | TAMILNADU

I left the motorcycle on land and went into the sea on a sailboat. Watch this video till the end to see some lovely footage of sailing in India.

A friend had a boat, so we went out sailing in the crystal clear waters off the coast of Mandapam (near Rameshwaram). One of the most beautiful places I've ever sailed at.

I'm fairly certain no Indian Youtuber has made a video about this before. It's also likely that several of you may not have heard about or seen sailing in India. So, I thought it would be cool to give you a glimpse into this world.

Some of the visuals in this video are my absolute favourites ever. I hope you guys enjoy them too!!

Thank you to Quest Expeditions ( and Kartik Bandi (@wherenwhy) for having been a part of this.

Ariyaman Beach near Rameshwaram - A beautiful beach

Ariyaman beach is a beautiful beach located 30 km from Rameshwaram. The beach has turquoise colored water which makes it a best place to spend your holidays. The water is crystal clear with no waves. Suitable for kids. If you are planning to visit Rameshwaram, Ariyaman beach is the must go.

Swatch of No Ground | Marine Protected Area of the Bay of Bengal

Swatch of No Ground Marine Protected Area of the Bay of Bengal, Bottomless area of the Bay of Bengal.

Swatch of no Ground was named because of the depth of the water which increased suddenly, from where the area started. So the British thought that there was no floor in this sea. Locals say 'no left' to Swatch of No Ground. Because they do not calculate feet or meters in the sea left, there is no place left, that means there is no appearance of this ground.

There are many marine animals, including whales, dolphins, the largest Irrawaddy dolphins, the Indo-Pacific Dolphins and the Fennel Implease Dolphin. It is the only swatch in the world, where these three marine mammals can be seen together.

An Isabela exploration team discovered three rare species of marine wildlife -- Minke Whale, Mammal, Masked Booby, Seabird, Gastropod, and Marine Mollusk.

The long valley of 〖1,777〗^2 km area goes forward in the southern direction of the Sundarbans. It is the main breeding ground for Whales, Dolphins, Sharks and Turtles.

Kite Surfing on Kunthakal Sea Beach Rameswaram

Kunthukal beach is located at the south west side of Rameswaram Island. The distance is about 15 kms from Rameswaram Temple and 8 kms from Pamban Beach. It is a sandy beach often with water sports activities like kite surfing. When we visited the place there were large number of kite surfers showing spectacular performances. In kite surfing the kite will fly on the sky and the human will surf on the water using a scate board. The player can move at high speed because of wind power. Apart from the beach the other attractions of Kunthukal beach is Vivekananda memorial and Marine Museum. Vivekananda memorial is beautifully constructed with a statue of Swamy Vivekananda at the center of the hall. I will put pictures of Vivekananda memorial in a separate album.
