One Day Trip to Kanyakumari from Chennai

Sunrise in Kanyakumari

This post explain how we made a one day trip to Kaniyakumari. We choose train, 🚄 Kaniyakumari Express which starts 5:30 pm from Chennai and it reaches to Kanyakumari by 6:15 AM, yes we missed Sun rise. If you want to see sunrise you should take train 12759 🚄 Chennai-Nagercoil Bi-Weekly Exp which starts 1:30 PM (only Monday and Friday) from Chennai Central it reached by 4:15 in Nagercoil. I need to work friday, at-least half a day, that why I chosen 🚄 Kanyakumari Express any how we can make good sleep in train.

After reach railway station, you will get autos to Hotel (Lodge) which have the average cost of ₹500-₹600 . We made only to keep our things and to refresh. Then we went to Famous Kanyakumari Temple it good to go but men should remove their shirt while going inside to the temple.

Guys, From my knowledge Kanyakumari is not a town it a big village only best thing in Kaniyakumari is sunrise ans sunset. So its a tourism village so restaurants in Kanyakumari where costly. We cant get good food with reasonable price Mostly I searched for Pongal in I didn't get. The average price of 4 idlies will be ₹50, just imagine rest of the foods.

We tried to make photo shoot at 9-am from Bhagavathi Amman temple to cover Thruvalluvar statue and Vivekanandar rock but due bright sun light behind us our face went dark with our phone camera. We found some photographers around there they charged ₹30 per image, also they mention they will do some Photoshop changes to make both Thruvalluvar statue and Vivekanandar rock more visible. Even that Photoshop work is decent. Also behind Bhagavathi Amma temple we can see Trivani Sangaman which is the tip-south of India.

By 10 am we went for shopping there we can't get any unique products than Sea shells, like Murex and Ranells. And went to Gandhi Mandapam, is the place where Mahatma Gandhi's ash was kept and done some pooja and then it drained in sea. Also we went to Kaamarajar Memorial Hall and view point. All these spots are walk-able from temple.

Than after we plan to to a ferry boat ride to Vivekanandar rock and Thruvalluvar statue. Unfortunately they raid to Thruvalluvar statue was canceled on that due to sea level went down so rock may hit boat. We where on queue by 11am and we reached boat by 12 pm that day queue was too long on holidays. Finally we reached rock after 15 mins. The cost of the raid is ₹30 per head. In Vivekanandar rock you can also see Parvathi Amman's foot press on that rock.

By 1pm  we completed most of the tourist place in Kanyakumari. Localities advise to do they advised us to go to Suchindrum Temple, which located 11kms from Kanyakumari. But it will open morning 6 to 10 and evening 4 to 7. So we canceled to go there and as per plan we went to Padmanabhapuram Palace, which is 50kms away from Kanyakumari on Thiruvananthapuram main Road via Nagercoil. Localities advise us to hire car or auto because bus will not available frequently to that place. So we hired auto, from my knowledge auto charges ₹600 to ₹800 and cab charges ₹1200 to ₹1500 for round trip. Auto takes us 1.15 hours to reach to palace.

Padmanabhapuram Palace

Padmanabhapuram Palace, which is build around 1600 by Travancore kings. This palace is geographically situated inside Tamil Nadu state but it owns by Kerala State Government Archeology department. For palace entry charges is around ₹30 (not sure, forgot). This palace contain multiple rooms. In each room there will guides, they often explain in different languages. It takes almost takes 2 hours to go around whole palace. From this whole trip, this palace is top on my list. Don't miss it

From auto we came to Nagarcoil, where we booked the Ticket to (16724) Ananthapuri Express back to Chennai. We starts around 6pm from Nagarcoil Jn. Reached back to Chennai next day (Sunday) at 7:30 am.

In this one day trip we missed sunrise, sunset and Suchindrum Temple due to insufficient of time. Then we missed Thiruvalluvar Statue due to natural concern. But the whole trip we made as per the plan. But my advise to make 2 days trip to Kanyakumari, where you can start from Chennai on Friday evening 5:30pm on Kanyakumari express and can return on Monday by 6 am to Chennai on the same Kanyakumari Express.

I hope this blog post will give you some Idea for trip to Kanyakumari. Any suggestion or anythig you like to share, please comment us.

Poor Jayalalitha

And poor Jayalalitha departed. She could not take anything with her. The imperious Jayalalitha who ruled over Tamilnadu became just a memory. She became the permanent occupant of 6 feet of public land, not in any of the thousands of acres
she owned! She was taken in a gun carriage though she had a good fleet of luxury cars and vehicles, leaving empty handed, and leaving everything earned through ulterior means for others.

1197 Acres in Tirunelveli, 200 Acres in Valajapetta, 100 Acres in Otthukkotta, 25 Acres in Shiruthavoor, 200 Acres and another farm of 100 Acres in Kancheepuram, Grape Garden of 14.5 Acres in Jeedimetla village in Ranga Reddy district in Telangana, Kodanad Tea Estate of 1600 Acres with Bunglows in Nilgiri.

Besides these, she had a massive 24,000 sqft residential property called Veda Nilayam in Poes Garden costing about Rs.100 Crores, four commercial buildings, including one each in Chennai and in Hyderabad. Other properties included 800 kg silver, 28 kg gold, 750 pairs of shoes, 10,500 sarees, 91 watches and other valuables, two Toyota Prado SUVs, a Tempo Traveller, a Tempo Trax, a Mahindra Jeep, an Ambassador car , a Mahindra Bolero, a Swaraj Mazda Maxi, and a Contessa. The nine vehicles are worth around Rs 42,25,000. ( As on 1997)- not to speak on Benami properties held elsewhere or later additions.

This is the lesson for all human beings – when the call comes from above, you will not even have time to say bye to your near and dear ones. No one can help you, no one can save you – not the followers who were ready to do anything and even to give their lives, a battery of servants waiting for an instruction, or a battalion of officers ready to take orders, best hospitals, best medical brains from India and abroad – repeat no one. It is also a lesson that whatever one amasses arrogantly through good or bad means through deceit, giving pain to others, will have to be left behind.

Sometimes, even the offering of last drop of water or performance of last rites may not be by a blood relative as in her case.

Realise that we are only travelers here and have to leave for the next destination. So give up ego or all that are related, realise one’s own true self, be a good human being showing empathy to fellow beings.
