In 1892, Swami Vivekananda is said to have meditated on this rocky outcrop before he started his philosophical journey. Vivekananda Rock Memorial was built in 1970. It is reached by a government-run ferry. If you thought Kanyakumari is water, water and only water, you are partly right. Partly, not wholly. The numerous places of attraction, each with a unique speciality of its own is something you may find unexpected in the place but once you start exploring it, you will be immersed in it, without even realising it yourself. The southernmost tip of the country is where Swami Vivekananda attained enlightenment and this immense, majestic memorial is in honour of the great soul who is loved and revered not only by Indians
