    After breakfast we started from Thiruvantapuram. Poovar island enroute is about 50 to 60 minutes drive away with picturesque scenery and lush green countryside. A boating trip for two hours will take you to the backwaters, which would remind you o the movie Anaconda with narrow channels and dense overhanging vegetations. The boating trip through Neyyar river also takes you to the picture perfect island in between this river and the sea with fine and very clear sand, very clear water and a place where you can't resist to take pictures. To help you keep memories of this perfect place, there are professional photographers who charge just Rs 50 and within couple of minutes give you a perfect photo showing date and place to remember such a beautiful place. Then you continue further through lush green countryside and serpiginious roads to Kanyakumari. In Kanyakumari tourist office is very helpful and gives you a brochure with map showing places to see. The main tourist spots are the Vivekanand Rock, big statue of the great poet Thiruvalluvar, exhibition of Vivekanand, Bhagavathy Amman temple, Triveni sangam of tri oceans and the sunset point. The different colours of waters of the three oceans, namely the Arabian sea, Indian ocean and bay of Bengal can be appreciated at the sangam point at mid noon when the sun is vertically about that point. The Vivekanand Rock and the statue of the great poet Thiruvalluvar are situated on the islands in the sea and you have to take ferry boat to go there. Important point is that the tickets for ferry boat close sharp at 4pm and return from there has to be done by 5.30pm. So don't miss the timings otherwise you'll have to just see them from the distance from the mainland. The statue of the great poet Thiruvalluvar is 95 feet tall and placed on a pedestal 38 feet high. All these figures stand for 38 chapters in his books and further 95 chapters of his messages. Together they are made of 7000 tonnes of granite. Similarly the Vivekanand smarak is also made of large amount of granite on a 4 acre big island and contains Pada Mandapam containing footprints of Goddess Parwati, then Meditation hall and statue of Vivekanand on a rock where he is said to have meditated in Dec 1892 and got the insight and the knowledge of how to help other people in his country and the world. The Vivekanand smarak situated on the mainland is very informative about his life and thoughts. The Bhagavathy Amman temple is dedicated to the Goddess Parwati and its timings are from 4.30 am to 12.30 in the afternoon and 4pm to 8.30 pm. Gents are allowed in this temple only if they remove clothes from the upper part of their body. The sunset point gives a picture perfect view of the sun setting on the sea. There are few churches also which can also be seen. It takes about 3 hours to travel back to Thiruvantapuram.

    This was much anticipated trip. Overall it was good. The tip is a beautiful place to be, where you get to see the different colours of the oceans meeting. Wonderful huge expanse of water. Also from here you can see the Vivekananda's rock & poet's statue. Unluckily we could do the ferry trip, due to a huge queue, as previous 2 days it was closed due to VIP movements. So always do the homework to find situation before making the trip. Also sunset point is a beautiful must visit. Could not do sunrise point visit as we did a day visit.
