We went on Sunday and had to stand in hot sun and humid air , all sweating , for 3 hours. The line was 2 km long. Pl carry enough water , juices , cap and umbrella before going on this attraction. The ferry ride itself is not more than 15 minutes. The rock memorial is clean and nicely maintained.... More

Having been to several other places in Tamil Nadu - Vivekananda Rock gave me the impression as if the local government does not want this to be a tourist destination. The approach is via a narrow line where people areherded like cows and goats into a room to wait for the next ferry. The room itself is cramped for space,... More

This Memorial in the middle of the sea is an exhilarating experience. And when I think that I was at the confluence of three oceans and a continent, my mind blows out! Unlike many other memorials and tourists places, this place is very well maintained and clean. The boat journey from the shore to the island, on which it is... More
