What’s up with Kanyakumari, India’s southern tip?

Kanyakumari is definitely a fascinating tourist destination, but is it a popular one? Let’s find out. Kanyakumari is located at the southernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent.

Here’s a cool tip: when in Kanyakumari, head to Marunthuvazh Malai hill, located between Nagercoil and Kanyakumari. A short but not-so-easy trek will bring you to the hilltop from where you can actually see the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal meet! You will need a pair of binoculars for this.

If you thought this was interesting, here are some more interesting things about this beautiful destination.

Kanyakumari is known for its stunning natural beauty. It offers breathtaking views of the ocean, golden sunrises, and equally beautiful sunsets. The confluence of three seas is a unique sight to behold.

This iconic memorial is a short distance away from the mainland. A short ferry ride will bring you to the island on which the famous rock memorial is situated. This site is quite popular. The ferry ride is a fun one too.

Right next to the Vivekananda Rock Memorial is the Thiruvalluvar Statue. The statue is around 133 feet tall and is a tribute to the famous Tamil poet and philosopher, Thiruvalluvar. Both memorial and the statue are always photographed together and they do give some great photo ops.

Kanyakumari is a religious destination. The Kumari Amman Temple, dedicated to the goddess Devi Kanya Kumari, is one of the most important temples in the town. Suchindram Temple and Padmanabhapuram Palace are other important temples located in and around Kanyakumari.

When in Kanyakumari, you must check out the beaches. Some of the most popular beaches are Kanyakumari Beach, Sanguthurai Beach, and Sothavilai Beach. They are beautiful and are great places to try regional coastal cuisine.

Our Lady of Ransom Shrine Church is a stunning work of architecture and clearly, one of the popular tourist attractions. It is also located quite close to the beach.
