  • The ferry will also take you to the famous Thiruvalluvar Statue.The pedestal of the statue is of 38 feet height and the statue over it is 95 feet tall with a grand total of 133 feet for the entire sculpture. The 3 tier pedestal known as Atharapeedam is surrounded by an artistic Mandapa known as Alankara Mandapam with 38 feet height. Surrounding the Alankara Mandapa stand 10 elephant statues signifying 8 directions with earth and space down.

  • Head to the Gandhi Memorial Mandapam. The Gandhi memorial in Kanniyakumari commemorates the memory of this selfless leader and is a living tribute to his life. Located on the shore, not far away from all the bustling tourist hotspots of Kanniyakumari, the Gandhi memorial nestles in a tranquil setting with the sea providing the perfect backdrop.

  • Take a historic walk through the verandas of the Padmanabhapuram palace.Padmanabhapuram Palace is a remarkable 16th Century CE wood palace of the erstwhile Maharajas of Travancore (1550 to 1750 AD). Replete with intricate wood carvings and ornate murals, the Palace is an exceptional example of indigenous building techniques and craftsmanship in wood, a style unparalleled in the world and based on historic building system, Taccusastra (the science of carpentry) unique to this region.
  • If time permits, visit the Vattakottai Fort,  Situated approximately 6 km to the north-east side of Kanniyakumari, the Vattakottai Fort is made of stone. The fort is spread across an area of 3.5 acres of land and has restrooms, weapon room and watch towers. The height of the walls are 25 ft and thickness in front is around 29 ft. It is said that during the earlier days, Padmanabhapuram Palace could be seen from the peak of the fort. There used to be a secret path through a tunnel that was 4 ft wide from the palace to the fort. This tunnel is closed now. The fort is constructed beautifully with plenty of open spaces and a pond in between.

My first trip as a solo traveller with Hippie was incredibly fun! not just because I got to travel around places like Shivanasamudra waterfalls and Talakadu temples but the people I met there were truly beautiful. We had so many great conversations and connected really well. The trip was organised very smoothly and I didn't want it to end at all. The coordinators had made their research for the place and had given complete information about the trip and how the journey would be a day before which made me less anxious travelling solo. Would love to travel more and more with a group like them.
