Head to the famous Lord Subramaniam Temple for some spiritual rejuvenation. Situated on a hillock, the temple is known for its architecture and the beautiful view of the sea. Take part in the poojas and abhishekams and get mesmerized by the sheer beauty of the temple compound.
Perched atop a rocky island, the 133-feet high Thiruvalluvar Statue is a sight to behold. This masterpiece of architecture is dedicated to the greatest Tamil poet and philosopher, Thiruvalluvar. Take a ferry or a boat to the island and spend some glorious moments admiring the statue and the breathtaking views of the ocean beyond.
Visit the stunning Mahatma Gandhi Memorial that is located in the middle of the sea and pay homage to the father of the nation. This peaceful spot is an ideal place to relax, unwind and enjoy some serene moments surrounded by water.

End your day with a fun time on Kanyakumari Beach. Collect some souvenirs, enjoy local food and snacks, and even participate in water sports like diving, surfing, or boating. Here you can enjoy a nice evening watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean. It's the perfect way to cap off a day full of adventure.
If you have more time, you can visit the nearby Padmanabhapuram Palace, Vattakottai Fort, or the Tsunami Memorial Park. For a relaxed itinerary, cut out visits to additional locations and spend more time enjoying the beach, food, and local crafts. But if you are short on time, it's best to skip Kanyakumari Beach and explore more of the historical and spiritual locations.
