KANYAKUMARI - edge of indian peninsula

Kanyakumari is lacated at southernmost tip  of indian peninsula and is famous among the heart of tourist for his incomparable geography . It is  a beautiful  place  covered by the three source; the arabian sea,indian ocean and bay of bengal.






actually we've have planned a trip of madurai-rameshwaram-kanyakumari,so after covering rameshwaram we move ahead to the edge of indian peninsula.


HOW TO REACH:

we reach kanyakumari from rameshwaram by train 12789/RMM CAPE EXP.
the distance is 407km and the journey is of  approx 7 hrs by train.the train departs from rmm junction at 8:45pm and arrives at kanyakumari in the early morning 04:20am .


well kanyakumari is easily  connected by major cities  of india via express train
one can easily find connectivity from delhi,mumbai,howrah,chennai,banglore,jammutawi and so on.




ACCOMODATION:


there are no. of hotel,rest-room and govt guest house for accomodation.


one of  accomodation can be Vivekanandapuram it offers clean - luxurious to affordable - accommodation at reasonable charges but the thing is that it is far from main  kanyakumari and you have to book the rooms and pay the charge through DD atleast 1-2 months before your trip.

sangam point

we opt Hotel CAPE just a half km outside railway station.the stay was nice and the important part is tourist points like temple,memorial,museum,church all are very near from hotel.


we reach kanyakumari early in  the morning and it was just awesome to feel the cool breeze with coffee in hands.




Sunrise point

sunrise point

the hotel manager suggests us to see sunrise and after fresh up we just ran with the camera towards the point bcoz we don't want to miss the sunrise


the unexpressable feelings come to see the large-small continous waves at the sangam point.
there was large crowd to see sunrise,hawkers selling set of photos,photographers requesting for quick photograph with vivekanand statue ,sun and sea.


as sun came out of clouds so many people do surya-namaskar ,some have clapped out,shouted ...see !!!see!!sun has come, after waiting us long as day was cloudy.

and then we've jumped from small to large chattans at the beach and spent hours in looking the waves.

vivekanand rock memorial

and THIRUVALLUVAR STATUE is just next to rock memorial.
to reach there is boat facility known as boat - jetty,there is huge crowd and line to get i boat.
to get boat easily one need to go and buy ticket soon after breakfast(from 9-10am) otherwise suffer from crowd and waste time in remain standing in queue.
