Catch the first rays of sunlight in India at the southernmost tip of the country. The serene view of the sunrise from the Kanyakumari beach is an experience of a lifetime. After witnessing this sight, take a stroll along the water and enjoy a cup of hot tea from one of the local vendors.
Get ready to climb a few stairs to visit the iconic Vivekananda Rock Memorial. This monument is built on two rocks that are located around 500 meters from the shoreline and offers a breathtaking view of the sea.
Hike up the 133ft statue of the famous Tamil poet, Thiruvalluvar, at the adjacent rock which is connected to where the Vivekananda Memorial stands. It is an exciting high altitude trek that provides an exhilarating experience and a beautiful, panoramic view of the Arabian Sea.
For those who have more time, visit the Tsunami Memorial Park for a sombering experience. Those with a shorter itinerary, skip the trek to the Thiruvalluvar Statue.
