Had an awesome weekend as always with our group....Though tired of too much heat around....It wasnt too much for the fun we had...
Had an awesome weekend as always with our group....Though tired of too much heat around....It wasnt too much for the fun we had...
It was Kanyakumari and surroundings this weekend.....Quite unplanned yet was a great time along....
A beautiful place if you love to see scenic beauties....Its all about scenic beauty here....
The journey began by train...several trains available to reach kanyakumari-our's being a Memu local caught at 1pm from Kochuveli.A peaceful journey nearly.Make your you get in from Kochuveli rather than Trivandrum central.It adds to peace when you've got a place to sit...:)
The train got us there quite in time...We had a walk to beach from the station...if you couldnt tolerate heat,I would advice you to catch a rickshaw....
We walked down to a church in the name of "Lady of ransom"(my apologies if I am using inapt way to name it).It was huge church, all in white...prayers going on...peaceful place....
From there, the rear side of the beach was quite near...The rear side was bit odd...You could snap pics but being residential area around you need to respect their privacy too...
The place around is full of fishermans being their way to earn their bread...So you might have bit odd feeling about people there...But they seemed no bad at heart...
From the rear side,you could view a rock lane which takes you in the sea...it is a walk path where in you could walk along till the end and then enjoy the drizzles of water....
Also your sight would be caught by vivekanand rock memorial and Kavi Thiruvallur statue.You could catch a ferry to these rock monuments.The ticket availability timings were 7:45am to 4pm.There is a huge crowd for the ferry so make sure you spare enough time if you wish to go...Getting into line in the morning after sunrise is a better option.....
The one to the left is Vivekanand rock memorial and to the right is Kavi Thiruvallur statue...
All this spots are in the way when we travel along the boundary of South India...The next that would come your way will be a shore where in you could stand on stones...Enjoy the waves...waves being too high...and the stones being slippery coz of algae...be sure to be cautioned!!
Next comes the sunset point...along your path to sunset point...you find a view tower...the entry fees is nominal and you could prefer it if you wish to just view the sunset rather than enjoying the awesome sand and crushed shells touching your legs...and giving a fabulous feeling....
The sunset point is around 2km far from the rocky shore...the sunset point-believe me was a lovely place to sit and enjoy the breeze and sound of the waves in peace..
We managed to stay at Gujarat bhavan-a dharamshala sort of thing wherein you could rent a hall at a nominal charge or rent rooms also if necessary...Beach is at a 15 min walking distance so you need not worry about getting a vehicle to go tp and fro.
About the managers and workers at Gujarati,one point I would like to mention is they were bit rude...too much strict about rules and behaviour...
The dinner we had was at Gujarat bhavan itself...for reviews kindly view the blog datsfoodie.blogspot.com
The next thing we did was went to the beach and enjoyed the waves,breeze,stars and lonely peace....!!
Just fab atmosphere...
Thus the day came to an end...So explore it soon....
