📍A Trip to Kanyakumari❤️

A one-day college tour to Chitharal Jain Temple, Triparapp, Padmanabhapuram Palace and Kanyakumari was organised for the fourth semester B.Ed. students on 22 March 2024. A total of 33 students were accompanied by 4 teachers including Dr. Kumar S (Asst. Professor Tamil Department), Dr. M.Omanasheelan (Associate Professor, English Department), Dr. Sreeja. I (Asst. Professor, Maths Department) and Dr. Chitralekha (Asst. Professor, Geography Department). We set out on the journey at 6: 40 am from the college and Manasi travels was the travel agency who assisted us for the same. After the breakfast we continued the journey to reach the first destination - Chitharal Jain Rock Temple.
The Chitharal Jain Monuments and Bhagavati Temple, also known as Chitharal Malai Kovil (literally "Temple on the Hill"), Chitaral Cave Temple or Bhagavati Temple, are located near Chitharal village in Kanyakumari districtTamil Nadu, India. 
We enjoyed the beauty of nature.
After that, we went to Triparappu Waterfalls. We reached Triparappu around 10: 45 am.

Thiruparappu is a village located in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, India. It is well-known for the Thiruparappu Waterfalls, a picturesque natural attraction where the Kodayar River cascades down a rocky terrain, creating a stunning waterfall amidst lush greenery. The site is popular among tourists for its scenic beauty and is often visited for picnics and recreational activities. Additionally, the area is also home to the Thiruparappu Dam, which serves as a significant water source for irrigation and agriculture in the region.
After this we reached our third destination, Padmanabhapuram Place at 12:55 pm. However, we encountered an unexpected twist when we arrived at the gates of the Padmanabhapuram Palace, only to find it closed for a lunch break. With a saddened heart we went to the Muttidichan Parai Church, Padmanabhapuram, where our lunch was arranged. After the lunch we continued our journey to reach the final destination, Kanyakumari.
We arrived at Kanyakumari around 3:30 pm, filled with excitement to explore this beautiful coastal town. The first thing on our agenda was a visit to Vivekananda Rock Memorial, accessible by a short boat ride. As we glided across the serene waters, anticipation built up to witness the majestic statue of Thiruvalluvar, but unfortunately, it was undergoing maintenance, leaving us a bit disappointed.

However, the breathtaking view of the sunset more than made up for it. The sky was painted in hues of orange and pink, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that left us in awe.

After enjoying the sunset, we decided to indulge in some shopping, as Kanyakumari is known for its vibrant markets offering a variety of souvenirs and local handicrafts. We strolled through the bustling streets, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of this lively town. From colorful textiles to intricately carved wooden artifacts, there was something for everyone.
Then, we back to our college at 8: 15 pm. But before calling it a day, we stopped at “Gowri Sankaram" hotel in Nagercoil for a delicious vegetarian dinner. Finally, we reached safely at the college at 11:30 pm. Overall, our trip to Kanyakumari was filled with unforgettable experiences. Kumar sir, Omanasheelan sir, Sreeja teacher and Chitralekha teacher were a constant support and guide for us.
Overall, our trip to Kanyakumari was filled with unforgettable experiences!!!!!!
