Kanyakumari

Early in the morning we started to Kanyakumari. We five in car started early in the morning to be there to witness the sunrise in Cape Comorin.

We reached there before the sun rise and waited for the sun to rise.  The area was crowded with lot of tourists.

Next we moved on to Mathur. This bridge below is the Asia's longest and tallest trough bridge. Couldn't believe huh? Yes it is. The bridge was built to carry water between two hills.
