Chitharal is located about 45 kilometers away from kanniyakumari. It is famous for the Rock-cut temple. Hillock  at Chitharal has a cave containing Rock-cut  sculptures of Thirthankaras and attendent  deities carved inside and outside dating back to 9th Century A.D. King Mahendra Varman I was responsible for the Jainism influence in this region.  It was converted into Bagavathy Temple in the 13th Century A.D. Cars and Vans can go upto the foot of   the hill. One has to walk for about 10 minutes to reach the temple. The Jain images have been preserved by the Central Archeological Survey of India. It comes under Vellankode panchayat.

Wonderful view from the top. A must visit place. You will have to walk for around 1 km to reach the top. But the view from the top is worth it. Remember to carry a water bottle and an umbrella if the weather is hot, as there are no shops available at the topThere are no fences or barricade on the top, so be careful and don't go to the edge.

Uphill trekking is exhaustive...Fill up your water bottles before you ascend...no crowd..no amenities...but definitely worth it...Nice scenic views

Nice historical place with cool wind everytime. Most suitable for morning visit. Restrictions for camera. It's an archaeological site.

It was wonderful experience.. We unexpectedly reached this location.. But its really awsome... Only parking fees and timing to be taken care...

Wonderful monument to look around

Chitharal Rock Cut Temple is a remarkable tourist destination that combines architectural brilliance, religious importance, and natural beauty. With its ancient rock-cut structures, intricate carvings, and peaceful surroundings, it offers a unique experience for travelers seeking to delve into the rich history and cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu.

High and windy place. Need to hike on a stone laid path, uphill the last 1 km though. Vehicle won't come till the point given on maps. Small ancient temple of archeological interest at the top. Need to be careful on the rocks.

The temple is located on a Mountain, the pathway is steep and had to walk about 500 metres from the base to reach the top. The place is clean, serene & views are magnificent too.

The most peaceful Area in between Kanyakumari and Trivandrum. I have visited several times mostly alone. You feel refreshed, energised and happy if you visit alone. Best timing Morning and evening. Sun set and the night city lights with wind blowing will make this place unique. Whenever I visit this place I have calculated and many unique things in my life. My Life-changing Place.

Most amazing place for coupls and families cool sprictual place, mountain ❤

Avoid women going here. This is a very dangerous area. There is no security here. Special if the crowd goes to more friends.

Nice place 👌vibe. But not going to thunder storms times 🙏. Other ways here is verry nice 👌

Really a calm and beautiful place to visit. No ticket needed. Parking fee only which is less amount. Visit during morning or evening for a good view.

It's a good short hiking spot. Butwas really noisy from the surrounding areas. The temple committee there made us pay parking fee just to keep our vehicle beside the road. It's scam.

The view from the top is awesome. The layer of western ghat is an impressive view. The fresh air make you refreshing.

Opens 8am to 6pm and entry closes at 4pm Enough parking space Very calm and beautiful place.

Its a peaceful place for meditation
