Kanyakumari
Meet the morning at India’s tip.
Ocean horizons, rocky shores and Vivekananda Rock Memorial.
At the southern tip of mainland India, give the horizon your attention. Kanyakumari is a place for early mornings, sea breezes and a few landmarks with a very big view.
A suggested itinerary to adapt to your own dates, budget and interests. Official destination information
A route with room
to make it yours.
Wake up for the seafront
Start early for a sunrise viewpoint. The colors depend on the weather, so enjoy the shore even on a cloudy morning.
Plan a visit to the rock memorial
Check the current ferry service to Vivekananda Rock Memorial. Crossings depend on sea conditions and local operations.
See the Thiruvalluvar landmark
Take in the Thiruvalluvar Statue and the surrounding coastal views, following the visitor access available on the day.
Keep an evening for the coast
Return to the waterfront for a slow evening. Leave spare time rather than tying your onward journey to a ferry departure.
