Pamban is a town in the Rameswaram taluk of Ramanathapuram district, Tamil Nadu.

Unlike most locations in India with this climate, most rainfall occurs in autumn and winter, with the heaviest rain falling from October to December, and very little rain in the summer months of June to August.

Until 1988, the Pamban bridge was the only surface transport that connected Tamil Nadu's island of Rameswaram to the mainland.

The Annai Indira Gandhi Road Bridge connects the National Highway (NH 49) with the Rameswaram island.

It stands on the Palk Strait and between the shores of Mandapam (a place on the Indian mainland) and Pamban (one of the fishermen town in Rameswaram island).
