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...

Nice place to take a break from Nava Tirupati tour and enjoy the Saravana Bhavan lunch. I did not visit the temple here. You can reach Tiruchendur after lunch and come back to Nava Tirupati tour. A good place to take rest and good food.

Like the name suggests, there are big conch stature built. If you visit the place in the mid day time, you can see people collecting conch mostly for commercial purpose. Beautiful small beach. You can spend quality time there. Since there is no rush you can take plenty of pictures and capture till you drop. You can also have a good view of sunset.

As the name indicates,there is a big sangu(SHELL) located near the shore.The beach looks clean and less crowded with less shops. Sanguthurai Beach is one of the calmest yet cleanest beaches that you should go to, during your visit to Kanyakumari. Sanguthurai Beach is located in the southernmost part of India, and you can feel the fierce power of the Indian Ocean there. However, Sanguthurai Beach is a pretty tranquil place with white sand beaches that sets a perfect background to the coastlineYou can also see Vivekananda Rock Memorial from here in the coastline of Sanguthurai Beach. If vigilant enough,you can also spot a white pillar protruding from the sea at Sanguthurai Beach. In addition to all these attractions,its lukewarm water is perfect for swimming.

This temple is located at a distance of around 45 - 50 KMS from Kanyakumari. The temple complex is very large and has many rare sculpture. Adhikesava perumal is the name of the main Deity here. The temple was built in Dravidian style architecture.. The presiding deity is - Adhikesava perumal (reclining posture ) Ambal - Goddess Maragathavalli Nachiar. A shivalingam is also seen inside the main sannithi near Lord Vishnu. Now kumbhabishekam works are going on and we can see Poojas done to the Balalayam perumal. Yet, you can have Darshan of the moolavar from a distance..
