If you are touring around Kanyakumari district, Mathur Aqueduct or Mathur Hanging Trough is a must see place.. such a breath taking structure built in 60s for irrigation purposes. With a height from the bridge, you can experience a wonderful scenery of lush forest and river on both sides. When you get down on the other side of the bridge, you can even take a small dip in the river during seasons, since the water is clean too.. it is a wonderful experience to witness the river, the trees surrounding it and also the magnificent bridge...

The sunset around this time of the year usually happens around 6 15 pm. It would be good to be present here atleast 1 hour before the sunset. That ways you get to sit on the rocks, have a view of the beach waves, read a book, click photos or simply chat !
