Tip of India in Kanyakumari
Not just the place but also its owner make it special. Raju, the owner of this eco-stay ran away from his house at the age of 8 years, began begging on the streets of Chennai and is now the master of this Rs 7.5 crore resort. You have to come here to meet this man of wonder and know his journey. The stay has one of the biggest swimming pool in Tamil Nadu. Its located under a silent rocky mountain surrounded by dense greenery.
Raju has planted all varieties of trees in this barren land. Its also a tradition that tourists who come here, plant a sapling. Visit to the Vivekanand rock, Thiruvalluvar statue and the last building on the tip of India which is a small temple is amazing. Also, the spectacle of meeting of the three seas, Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and Arabian sea gives you goosebumps.
