It is one of the amazing beach in South India. The main attraction is the Vivekanantha temple made by rock on the beach. We can reach the temple by boat.

Being a native of Kanya kumari myself I wish to say the best place in southern Tamil Nadu for tourism the only place in India where both the Arabian sea as well as the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean meet the water is in turquoise blue because of the various chemical composition from different places .The Vivekananda rock & Thiruvalluvar statue are located here is located in the ocean here . Hotels are nice the food is usually prepared in coconut oil, do visit the Thanumalayan temple in Suchindrum .Enjoy the climate

Hai Guys! I got to Kanyakumari a day before. What a place it was ! The sea is more clear and too cold and most important is Thriveni sangamam. We can reach Vivekanenda rock by small boats. There is a temble in that rock. Many shops in banks of sea. A huge crowd arrived to watch the sun rise and sunset. Kanyakumari recall me to most beautiful moments in my life.

Hi all this the best place to visit by all those people and nice place to go and for riders its best place comes in for them.


Accessibility like many in there we may see thiruvalluvar statue a tallest one and surrounding temples are nice and the tall lord shivan statute is also very nice to see visit this place once in our life time best place.


Local seeing like thiruvalluvar statue and boat riding Vivekanandar mandabam, mahatma Gandhi ji mandabam bagavati amma temple and beach sunrises and sunsets we see all those things and it get us like unforgettable and unbelievable things.


Hotels are highly inflative like we may stay were we want by booking in trivago or any other online hotel booking app its best and show some offers with all accessibility and one thing we had see the sun rises and sunsets in the hotel itself because it views was very delightfully manner and worthless to tell about those scenaris we stunt on seeing those thing in high of the hotel rooms or by upstairs of the hotel.


For our own luggage and baggage we are only responsible in out side hotels and for us it was full of safe and cops were in all around the surrounding to keep the tourism safe of us and protect us.

WONDERFUL PLACE OF WORLD
Mar 06, 2018 12:52 PM4878 Views

Recently, me and my friends had an outing plan. We decided to travel to a different place which was Kanyakumari.


Last weekend we spent  our entire time there which was one of the best moments in our life.


It is the best place to travel around.


We traveled through train which was around 12 hrs from Chennai. It was about 706 kms to reach Kanyakumari.


Also You can travel through bus or plane.


Nearest airport will be thiruvananthapuram airport.


Now it was a summer time and the weather was good. Actually summer is the best time to visit this  place.


There were several places to visit. I will share my personal experience here:


Sunset view point which was the best spot for me. The sunrise and sunset here was completely awesome. This is one of the best place for nature lovers.


Vivekananda Rock Memorial is one of the small island of kanyakumari. It is completely very neat and one of the good place to visit.


Thiruvalluvar statue which was behind to vivekananda rock memorial which was 133 feet; very poetic. Good spot to capture photos.


Kanyakumari beach is the next place where the view of  the beach was completely good and it was one of the good place to travel with friends. This was little crowded while we visited. There were some other beache like sanguthurai beach, but we don't have time to visit those places.


Thanumalayan temple-sthanumalayan temple where we can worship the Mummurthiys such as shiva-brahma-vishnu at a time. One of the best temple in south India. Here we can also worship Hanuman.


Padmanabhapuram Palace one of the oldest palace which shows the life of maharajas. Good to visit. Spend some time here to visit this palace completely.


Thirparappu falls which is 2 hours from kanyakumari. We can take a bath here. One of the good falls.


Vattakottai Fort which was the most excellent place which was calm near beach. Good place to capture photos and good place to relax.


Still there were several places like Gandhi Memorial, Baywatch Amusement park, etc.


Due to lack of time we couldn't able to visit all those places.


We stayed in Hotel Sangam which was on the main road. Very good place. As we stayed only one and half days, it was a nice place for us and cost was also moderate.


Still there were several hotels and resorts there which will be more excellent.


It is the one of the safest place. Anyway we have to take care of our own belongings.


Visit Kanyakumari at least once in your life.

Kanyakumari - An eye catching spot
Feb 27, 2018 03:31 PM4756 Views

Kanyakumari is the southern most end of Tamilnadu which is surrounded by Indian ocean, Bay of bengal and Arabian sea also known an'Thiriveni sangamam'. Kanyakumari is well connected by roads(NH 7), train and air from all over India, nearest airport is Thiruvanandapuram and Tuticorin.


Sight seeing places in Kanyakumari includes Vivekananda rock, Thiruvalluvar Statue, Gandhi mandapam and Bagavathiamman temple. The most distinctive spot is Thiruvalluvar rock which is a mind blowing place, we feel peace to our mind over there. We have to reach there by ferry. We can find the different colours of sea water of three oceans there. Near to rock is the Thiruvalluvar statue (universal poet). Gandhi mandapam gives you a peaceful experience to remember our father of nation. Bagavathiamman temple is one of the unique temples of our country its entrance door is facing the sea. For accomodation we can find more hotels from high standard to medium budget and the costs are also reasonable.


We can find police and guards everywhere for tourist safety during vacations and holidays we should take care of our things and children because crowd will be more. Also we should follow the parking rules instructed by the police department to avoid traffic jam.


I am highly recommending this place for your visit during holidays.

I visited kanyakumari recently. Best place I have ever seen. The temp is moderate. As being surrounded by sea climate is humid. I visited kanyakumari beaches. What a marvellous seen the waves of sea was very beautiful. The exciting part is the sun rise. Our tourist guide told that the morning sun rise which feels like the sun emerges from the sea. There were many types of sea creatures which I have never seen. The best place I visited was the Vivekanad temple in the sea surrounded by water frim all side. The place is exciting to see. There were many churches. I celebeated christmas there. The streets was well lit and kanyakumari was looking like a small europeon country. Best place. I request the readers if they have not visited the please visit it.

Dear friends, Severel times I visited Kanyakumari. Hence I can share my experience to all of you.


Kanyakumari is the last end of India & it is surrounded byOcean. You can reach Kanyakumari via Madurai is better.


VIVEKANANDHAR ROCK is one of the important place in kanyakumari. It gives us peace & calm. In there a big hall built in excellent manner. We can reach their via Boat from Sea-shore. Boat riding gives us a good experience to us. The main thing iMahathma Gandhiji's rock is kept there. After that I visited Kanyakumari Amman temple which is one of the oldest temple in India.


Lot of Hotels/Accomodation in Kanyakumari. Charges are nominal only. Some Star Hotels are collecting huge charges. But medium class Hotels are collecting nominal charges only.


I definitely recommend Kanyakumari for Tour all of you. Its a calm & safety place.

During our last holidays I decided to visit kanyakumari.We travelled to our destination feom trivandrum.We started by morning 9: 00 and was ubable to reach the destination before evening due to heavy traffic and poor traffic management.Thus we missed the main objective of our travel to visit the vivekananda rock .We were all disappointed with that.So we decided to take a walk around the beach and wander and visit some stores so that we could somewhat enjoy the place.The beach and the whole place was messed.We werent able to find a parking place for our vehicle.The palce was all dirty and filled with rubbish.There were dirty wagabonds all around.The government is not even taking any actions to ensure that the place is well kept.Worst experience
