Start your journey with the breathtaking views of the Kanyakumari Beach. Watch the sunrise, enjoy the water or take a walk while energizing yourself to explore more in the coming days.
Visit the famous Vivekananda Rock Memorial by a ferry ride from the shore. Explore the mystic power at this spiritual landmark before heading to the Thiruvalluvar statue. Standing tall at 133 feet, this statue is a symbol of the ancient Tamil poet who preached the importance of unity.
A day trip to the Padmanabhapuram Palace in the morning takes you through the historic era of the Travancore Dynasty. More than 400 years old, this palace is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Then visit the Suchindram Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, which is famous for its musical pillars and the majestic statue of Hanuman.
Our Lady of Ransom Church, a Gothic-style church built-in 1893, is a popular tourist site and an important religious site for the Latin Catholic community. Then, visit the Gandhi Memorial, famous for its unique architecture and remembering the Father of the Nation, who used to witness the magnificent sunset of Kanyakumari.
Lastly, pay homage to the victims of the 2004 Tsunami at the Tsunami Memorial Park. End the trip with the colourful sunset at Sunset Point, with panoramic views of the ocean waves meeting the sky.
If you have more time, take a day trip to the nearby Pechiparai Reservoir or the famous Kovalam Beach. For those who have less time, skipping the Padmanabhapuram Palace could be a consideration. Keep in mind that most sites close around sunset, thus being an early bird can aid in organizing your schedule efficiently.
