Kanyakumari Travel Guide

A beach destination that’s a must for any beach lover, Kanyakumari is known for its interesting myths and legends, spectacular sunrise and sunsets and different colours of sand! Being the point of confluence of three oceans – the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean, Hindus also believe that a dip here is considered holy. Popularly known as “Land’s End”, a tour to Kanyakumari would take you to the point where Bay of Bengal merges with the Arabian Sea.

Nature lovers would for sure love the sight of the setting sun and the moon rising over the ocean. If you are at Kovalam Beach, then Kanyakumari is perfect as a one day trip. A popular pilgrimage destination, it is also marked for its spiritual significance that it has for the Hindus.
