From the car. You can see the horizon lighting up

Google Maps of the location we were in

And at one point I turned towards the mainland to witness the first rays of sun on the small village, and I was awestruck. The small village looked as if it was coated with gold by the sun rays. It was an amazing scene. As usual tried taking some pics and they didn’t do enough justice to the scene. So I had to put the camera away and enjoy the scenery.

Kappal Matha Church

Our next stop was supposed to be Manapad. Another small village in the coast made famous for some movies shot there. There are few scenes from Singam shot here.

This place has an awesome blue beach. And the church here is also so famous.

St. Francis Xavier was supposedly landed here.

Never knew such a beautiful place existed so close to home. Decided to check all places close to home. And after the trip was done, and when I was in Bangalore, realised there are options to surf and do adventurous sports in Manapad. So have it check it agin some time soon.
