This has to be one of the most memorable moments of my life.
My friend and I decided to witness the sunrise in Kanyakumari, riding on his
Royal Enfield. It was just the two of us embarking on this grand adventure,
fueled by our shared passion for travel. The anticipation heightened as we rode
through various destinations near Kanyakumari, mostly along the coastline. The
direct routes we took, traveling on highways, filled us with inspiration and
excitement.
We set out from our hometown at 5:45 AM, missing the sunrise
we had hoped to see. The reasons behind our delayed start are a bit comical and
best left untold. Nevertheless, we were determined not to let anything deter
us. It typically takes about 1.5 hours by bike to reach Kanyakumari from our
hometown. So, we headed straight there. The newly constructed flyover bridges
and national highways in Nagercoil offered breathtaking views, with mountains
providing a scenic backdrop.

After our ride, we reached Vattakottai Fort, a renowned
historical fort situated along the Kanyakumari coastline. Despite our hunger
and the time slipping away without a meal, we were eager to explore the fort.
It was truly astonishing to see that, after all these years, the fort remains
largely unchanged. The true essence of the fort can only be felt from within
its walls, and it's commendable how well-maintained this small fort in
Kanyakumari is.
From the left end of the fort, we had a clear view of the
domes of the Thoothukudi atomic station. It's a place that evokes deep
emotions. Whenever I travel to such places, I find myself missing certain
people profoundly. This time, it was my other friends whom I missed dearly,
recalling our previous visit to this fort together.

Feeling quite hungry, we decided to prioritize breakfast
before continuing our journey. Our next destination was the popular Chothavilai
beach. With the sun shining brightly and the midday heat intensifying, I found
it challenging to continue with our plans for the day. I wasn't prepared for
the heat, and my energy was waning. We decided to call it a day and head back
to our hometown.
On our way from Vattakottai to Chothavilai, we passed
through some scenic spots, including the famous Manakudi Backwater area. The
bridge there is a notable landmark for travelers, offering breathtaking views
of the surroundings. Unfortunately, we missed capturing these picturesque
moments through photographs, but there's always a next time!
