vivekananda rock memorial

SUJIT2009

Little tiring to stand in the queue. Wearing of Life jacket is must in the launch, but ridiculous as there is nobody to check whether it is properly done. These are also not cleaned. Authority charges again at the Rock. This could be avoided or collected together with the launch ticket. Otherwise all are ok. Good time to spend, take snaps. There could a food stall.

Ferry to the Memorial is a short journey. Go early in the morning to avoid any line ups. the meditation room is very peaceful. Have a book store also on sight. It's a beautiful place to be surrounded by water, if it is sunny and not windy. Could spend an hour or so on in this place and then return back by ferry to the main land.

Visited many times. Ticket is 35 Rs for normal line. generally it is a half kilometre long line for ferry tickets. Just go to the gate and inquire about slightly expensive tickets costs 135 Rs and you can visit quickly if you're in a hurry.It is a popular tourist monument in Vavathurai, Kanyakumari, India. The memorial stands on one of two rocks located about 500 meters east off mainland of Vavathurai, India's southernmost tip.You Can see three Sea's meeting at this Place. Vivakanand did meditation on this Rock. You will feel relaxed and calm here. there is a impression of feet which according to hindu methodology , impression of Goddess Parvati feet.Must Visit Place..... message me if you want o know something more.....

One of the clean spiritual place. Where wind flows from all sides and sea try to engulf it. Elating experience and scary while cruising towards it from the boat.

No one gets to know about them as they join a half kilometre long line for ferry tickets. Just go to the gate and inquire about slightly expensive tickets and you can visit quickly if you're in a hurry. I missed out the visit because of the long line and my ignorance about the special tickets.

Its the one of most beautiful place I have been till date.........its the best attraction of Kanyakumari , to reach there you have to buy the ticket of rs 34 for ferry but if there is rush you can go for special ticket which is quite costly but you get saved from rush. Once you reach there you have to buy a ticket of rs 20 per head for further visit. It was built as a tribute to Vivekananda after his speech in Chicago on Indian culture. the whole area is divided into three mandapam. Usually the rush time in Kanyakumari is 23 to 25 December there are celebrations because it was the time when Vivekananda did meditation on that rock before his speech in Chicago. Natural beauty of this place is awesome which can only be seen and felt........ no words to describe!

The waves are high and those big boats also find it difficult to turn. Very nice place, best attraction of Kanyakumari. The colour difference between waters of Indian Ocean and Sea (both sides) is clearly visible. For the tourist who are short of time if there is huge queue in general ticket for boat there is option of buying special tickets also which cost around 170 per head, unfortunately there is no board outside so for me also after I spend two hours standing in queue while reaching near ticket window of general ticket I saw that board.

Its a must tourist point. Has a faire service rs 34 per person for whole trip to vivekanada memorial. Rs 20 entry fee per person for Vivekananda's memorial. Start at 7:45 am but line starts forming at 7:00 am. Takes about 1 hr 30 minutes for whole trip but whole it.MUST GO AS THE VIEW IS AMAZING AND GIVES VERY SCENIC VIEW OF INDIAN OCEAN.

This is a beautiful place. The sunrise and sunset at this place are awesome. We woke up 6 A.M in the morning and went to rocks to sunrise and it's a life time memory now. If you go to memorial rock through steamer and spent some time in evening it would be really great. Very calm , very heavenly and very devine place.....

Views back to the shore are good. Good for photographs. Fortunately through the guide we had priority seating on the boat as the queues were horrendous! Would not have liked the +hour wait for the return journey, although they do provide shade.

Nice and calm place, offers a sense of serenity and the sun set was just out of this world! too crowded in the evenings though..but well worth a visit to the southern most tip of mainland India!

The place was built in remembrance of Swami vivekandana who swam to this rock and meditated. Very quiet and clam place in between the sea. The ferry ride was for 5 mins and it was fun due to big waves.

Very calm, clean and beautiful place. The ferry to the rock memorial has a special entry ticket for which you dont have to stand in the long queue. This board is not placed at the entrance. It is near the ticket counter.
