Kanyakumari is a place with breath-taking beauty and serene environment. Taking its name for an Indian Goddess, Kanyakumari is geographically the end of Indian mainland.
Kanyakumari looms large in India’s imagination — and with good reason. It is the southernmost tip of mainland India and is the meeting point of the three seas surrounding India: the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. This is not it, the list for places to visit in kanyakumari is a long list, indeed.
