The 77-meter-long and 10-meter-wide glass bridge at Kanyakumari was inaugurated in 2024.
Kanyakumari, the coastal gem of Tamil Nadu, is celebrated for its natural beauty – stunning seashores, swaying coconut trees and vibrant paddy fields. Alongside its picturesque setting, Kanyakumari is home to some iconic landmarks, one of the most notable being the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. Perched on a rocky island just off the coast, this grand monument pays tribute to Swami Vivekananda, one of India's most revered spiritual leaders.
Last year, a glass bridge connecting the memorial to the towering 133-foot-high Thiruvalluvar statue was inaugurated by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin. Touted as the first of its kind in the country, the transparent bridge offers breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding landscapes.

Recently, a travel vlogger couple visited this Kanyakumari hotspot, sharing details about the place through a video on Instagram. The clip captures the woman walking on the transparent glass stretch, enjoying the crashing waves, the pristine sunsets and the distant cityscape. There's also a glimpse of the two towering statues. For those planning a visit, ferry tickets to the monument are priced at Rs 70, while entry to the site costs Rs 30.
The side note read, “Have you heard about this place in Tamil Nadu ??? The newly inaugurated glass bridge in Kanyakumari, measuring 77 meters, connects the Vivekananda memorial to the Thiruvalluvar statue.
