Start your trip with the spiritual journey of Vivekananda Rock Memorial. It is situated at the confluence of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean. The memorial showcases the sanctity of Swami Vivekananda. Travel by ferry from Kanyakumari Beach and enjoy the cool sea breeze.
Visit the 16th-century Padmanabhapuram Palace, located in Thuckalay, 20 km from Nagercoil. This Palace was once the home of the Travancore royal family. The palace has many wooden artifacts, murals, stunning architecture, and an overall sense of calm. Be sure to take a guided tour for the enriching experience.
Finish your day with the iconic Thiruvalluvar Statue, located on a small island which is accessible by ferry. It is the largest statue of a poet in Asia. Witness the stunning view of Thiruvalluvar and the bay of Bengal from the 133 feet tall statue and learn about the Tamil culture at the Vivekananda Kendra.
If you have an extra day, visit the Kanyakumari Beach and watch the sunrise or sunset, take a boat to see the colorful Chinese Fishing Net. If you have less time, you can skip Padmanabhapuram Palace and extend your stay at Vivekananda Rock Memorial. Do not forget sunscreen and comfortable shoes, and carry sufficient cash as all the places may not accept cards.
