Very Interesting
Anyway this is a famous place in kanyakumari district, this was not maintained as a tourist spot by GOVT OF TAMILNADU... The transportation to this spot is really too bad... Nearly 2 govt buses and 1 mini bus service is there... My suggestion is if this spot is with the GOVT OF KERALA as before (1/11/1956)... This tourist place will become a good one.....
is this area is safe for childs & ladies? How the securitys are? Is there any police control for safe? Because, y im asking this means, last time i visit this place. Some drunken peoples are misusing this area like teasing the womens. My wish is, we must need police force to control here..
