The tickets at the boat jetty are available from 8 am to 4 pm. The regular ticket charge is Rs 34 per head(return ticket) The ticket counter and the Q is well organised and regulated. The line moves fast. The journey is just 10 minutes. The embarking and disembarking is safe and smooth with the boatmen helping seniors and children in the process. Once you enter the memorial you have to buy a Rs 20 ticket for entry and then again another Rs. 20 ticket for darshan at the memorial. One has to remove the footwear at the stand once we land on the rock and so one has to avoid the afternoon time when the ground would be hot to walk. The view is breathtaking and leaves one speechless! There is a book shop and a gift shop. Toilet facility is provided. While returning, again there is a Q but this is not very well organized and many people who could manage were barging in the Q and rushing in the boat to grab a seat. It was sad to note that so many Indians are basically inclined to push forward without considering the quiet and humble persons who happen to be a minority!

This is the Only temple in the world that Mummurthi's are in one single Idiol namely "sthanumalayan". Beware of the sales person around the temple, they lectured lot of things like a guide and finally they sold the garland,lamp and other things to you in heavy cost.
Another important swami in this shrine is Sucindrum Anjineyar, he is in the outer prakaram of this temple.

rajas mall located near chettikulam junction is very small...a couple of kilometers from Nagercoil bus stand...some 5 restaurants in the food court and about 5 or 6 clothing stores like classic polo, planet fashion,etc.... no one is found near the clothing stores...the food court is highly crowded on weekends. think so, the only place to time pass for the people in Nagercoil....

The place is quite good; one of the few places in K.K.District where trekking and visit to this falls can be combined. People have to be extra careful about bathing places as most of the places are slippery. There have been reports that the quiet waters have strong undercurrent. Avoid getting down into the water. Otherwise a nice place. You must carry eatables with you.

Reviewed By VinniJ - New Delhi, India
A less known beautiful beach in the outskirts of Kanyakumari. This whole area was affected badly in 2004's Tsunami, many homes and Bridges were destroyed in that disastrous tragedy but the people have worked hard to rebuilt it. Quite calm and beautiful, can be done easily by hiring a personal vehicle or public transportation. Waves are quite fast and high most of the time, so be careful while going near to the water.
Surroundings were very nice so do the drive, would love to visit it someday again.
