The Tip of India
This is a top pick! ... the blood stained dhoti (long loincloth) that Gandhi was wearing at the time he was assassinated in Delhi in 1948. Travelling to Kanyakumari was like we had arrived in a totally different country. The dirt and dust of Tamil Nadu had (almost) disappeared, ...
The Tip Of India's Tongue..
This is a top pick! Just a quick one from Kanyakumari for you all. At the Southern most tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal meet, lies Kanyakumari, an important pilgrimage site for Indians. Kanyakumari has been named after the ...
Beaches of Kerela
This is a top pick! ... too. We met a great family (living next door to us at Hill Palace) from Hastings Sussex who are in India for 7 weeks. Hannah, Patrick and their 2 and a half year old daughter Maiya. Our last day in Varkala, we spent altogether lounging ...
On the road again
This is a top pick! ... I said very drunk! They were almost dragging us at 5 in the morning on some random mission they had got in their heads!! Kanyakumari was a strange place meant to be some kind of pilgrimage crossed with a holiday town for Indians, lots of groups of men ...
16 hours later.....
This is a top pick! ... was good.......426 rps of which 39 which was service charge, all in two meals for 3 pounds each, 3 POUNDS!! Wandered through kanyakumari town, we can't go any further south without swimming. Found the first big market which was interesting but all very ...
Indien reloaded
Erstaunlich, erstaunlich, Indien wird besser. Nach meinem etwas indienuerbmuedeten letzten Eintrag haben sich die Dinge wesentlich verbessert. - Ich bin aus Bihar raus. Das ist der Bundesstaat in dem Bodhgaya liegt und einer der dreckigsten und ...
Southern Tip of India
From Varkala we headed down on the train (which was a beautiful journey) to the southernmost point in India – Kanyakumari. The plan was to watch the sunset over and the moon rise where three Ocean meet, the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and Arabian ...
At the Tip of the Tigers Tail
... to an old politician it was even more bland and boring (perhaps rightly so) than its Gandhi counterpart. One of Kanyakumari's most individual attractions is its temple which rather than covering other body parts up as many other temples require, this ...
SACCER school in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu
... on Sunday and set us up in a cottage at a wonderful retreat center called Vivekanandra Kendra which faces the Indian ocean on Kanyakumari Beach, Tamil Nadu. We had lunch, made arrangements to be picked up the next morning so we could spend the day at ...
Journey to the tip of India
... of the main rooms had 90 carved flowers on the ceiling, each one unique. Then we went to Kanyakamari, the southern most tip of India, where three oceans meet. We went by boat to the rock memorial, the sea was very rough and the indian ladies were singing ...
One Man Freak Show
I've just realised that I am the only foreigner in this pilgrimage circus... a one man freak show in a sea of tourist devotees. "Never seen a white boy before?" I am tempted to ask but never do. And I realise that in truth I am the odd one out in a ...
Surindra, his boy, the doctor and me...

Land's End
... men must take off their tops and expose their great bellies and man breasts to the Goddess. The lack of sex equality in India is definitely working against me here! It is quite inspirational what ugly things you can make out of just shells. Sooo very ...
Sadness
I could not help but feel the gloss of our time with Mum and Dad had, for me at least, an undercoat of sadness. A sadness borne out of the cruelty of time; how brief a period we had together; how precious every moment that slips away and can never quite ...
At the end of the world...
... 24 hours at the end of the world. WARNING - very long entry -to make up for some of the others :) Kanyakumari is the bottom tip of India, where Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean meet. Its a very special place, where Gandhi and ...
Kanyakumari
... the southern most hotel in India. As I type I am looking out over the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. Kanyakumari is where the 3 seas meet, but is also a pilgrimage site for Hindus. There is a memorial and statue in the bay which we got ...
Southern most part of India
... to this place for over an hour. It was a short boat ride to a small island just offshore of the southern most part of India. We were a little hysterical on the boat as 1) It felt very unsafe as it was really windy, 2) we had ridiculously over sized ...
Kanyakumari , the very southern tip of India

6th Stop - Thanumalayan Temple

Looking Forward, Looking Back
... but also worrying that we would stumble at the last and fail to quite make it. Especially during this last dash down through India I became convinced that we would miss a train or our booking would fail to proceed from 'waitlisted' to 'confirmed', or M ...
Kanyakumari - India's Land's End
Today we had a fairly horrific bus journey down to the southern most tip of india - Kanyakumari. It was a 10 hour journey, and there was the loudest indian music playing for the first half followed by three very loud incredibly violent bollywood ...
On the way to Kanyakumari
... dinner. The water was bathtub warm. We got a late start this morning and are heading straight down to Kanyakumari (aka Cape Comorin.) The area we are driving through is known for fireworks, matchboxes, and printing. Janpal says ...
The Southern Tip of India
... my hand!!) 2. i am very clever 3. i will visit other countries (which is pretty much a safe bet given that im a gringo in india?) 4. i do not have peace of mind within myself at the moment (fair enough, but again usually a safe bet to say to most ...
the land's end of India

Kanyakumari
