A Mesmerizing Day in Kanyakumari: Exploring the Southern Tip of India

Welcome to my trave blog. In this edition, I will share with you about my delightful journey to Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India. This enchanting destination is renowned for its unparalleled beauty, vibrant culture, and historical significance.

We started our journey to Kanyakumari from Rameswaram by taking a TNSTC bus at 9:30pm. We reached Kanyakumari around 4 am in morning. We took a hotel in early morning and after freshen up, we headed towards Sunrise point to see morning sunrise at sea at Triveni Sangam. This is the point where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean converge, creating a breathtaking sight. Everyone was eagerly waiting for sunrise with waves gushing the shores in dark. 

In the middle of the sea we were able to see Vivekanand rock memorial and statue of Tiruvallur shining in dark. 

Morning:

At around 5:40 we  witnessed the sun majestically rise above the horizon, casting a golden glow on the waters, while the gentle sea breeze invigorates our senses.

We witnessed the point where Arabian sea meets bay of Bengal.

It was such a beautiful view that we spend around 2-3 hours there. We were seeing and listening to waves and it mesmerized us.

Afterward, we headed towards the iconic Vivekananda Rock Memorial. Hop on a ferry and enjoyed a short ride to this rock, which holds great historical and spiritual significance. 

We visited the meditation hall, where Swami Vivekananda, the renowned Indian philosopher, meditated and attained enlightenment. The panoramic views of the sea from the memorial are simply awe-inspiring.

After coming back from Vivekanand Rock Memorial, we headed for a taste of authentic South Indian cuisine.  The flavors and spices left our taste buds delighted and craving for more.

Next, visit the Gandhi Mandapam, a memorial dedicated to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. After that we visited Kumari amma temple of Kanyakumari.

In evening as the sun started to set, we headed back to the shoreline and witnessed the awe-inspiring Sunset Point. The sky bursted into a mesmerizing display of colors as the sun gradually descended into the horizon. The sight of the sun setting over the ocean was truly magical and an unforgettable experience.

After sunset we headed back to our hotel, packed our bags and headed to Thiruvananthapuram for our next destination to travel with special memmory of kanyakumari.

Kanyakumari, with its natural beauty, historical landmarks, and cultural richness, offers a captivating experience for travelers. In just one day, you can witness the convergence of seas, explore iconic memorials, relish delectable cuisine, and be mesmerized by stunning sunrises and sunsets.
