Kanyakumari - The last chunk of scenic landscape in the southern tip of
Indian Peninsular. Our caravan road trip to Kanyakumari from Bangalore via Hosur and Madurai
is one of the best stretches of National Highways in India, the NH7. The same
NH runs from Kashmir till Kanyakumari, the longest NH in India.
Day1: Bangalore to Kanyakumari, hotel stay in Kanyakumari
We concluded the first days’ journey by halting at the Hotel Madhini that offers an excellent view of the juncture of the Indian ocean, Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal.
The sunrise on the day 2 was a splendid sight to spot right outside the balcony of our hotel, sipping a kappa hot and strong south Indian filter coffee.
The delights of the Dosas and idly vadas’ are always mesmerizing when one plans to stay in this serene place.
The peace lovers paradise and the very location where the great saint Sri Vivekananda found eternal bliss…. The Vivekananda Rock. The way to get to this place is through ferries that ply every 10 minutes from Kanyakumari.
With a lot of resistance, we had to pack our bags to head towards Rameshwaram, another holy and scenic city in the southern east coast of India.
A few glimpses of the scenic beauty all along our journey of around 650kms, which was covered in 10hrs (2008-09).

The day 2 activities followed by a visit to the Kumari Amman temple where the Goddess Kumari Amman had a diamond nose ring which was seemingly bright and sharp enough to fox the ships and big boats arriving at the harbour to misunderstand it for the light house.
To avoid any further mishaps, one of the entrances to the temple was closed forever. Unfortunately couldn’t get snaps of the idol of the great goddess.

After returning from the peace palace, we drove towards the west coast of Kanyakumari that had lots to offer in terms of superb sunset views, all along the coast.
With a lot of resistance, we had to pack our bags to head towards Rameshwaram, another holy and scenic city in the southern east coast of India.
The famous Rameshwaram bridge is a must-stop location, with winds blowing at speeds good enough to flyaway… the kilometers of the sand that are left out for drying and processing is a common sight on the way from Kanya to Rameshwaram.
The Rameshwaram bridge was a total delight to watch the railway and the motorway running parallel and almost feels like, we are driving in the mid of the sea.
