About Kanyakumari
At India’s southern tip, Kanyakumari is where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean meet. The Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Thiruvalluvar statue stand offshore, now linked by a glass bridge.
Sunrise and sunset over the sea, the Kumari Amman temple and the palace at Padmanabhapuram make it a rewarding short trip.
