The charming city of Trivandrum (or Thiruvananthapuram) has plenty of heritage sites to offer visitors. But after you are done exploring this capital of Kerala, you could travel to the famous southernmost tip of India – Kanyakumari.

A day trip to the coastal town of Kanyakumari from Trivandrum in a private car will give you enough time to visit a couple of temples, a fort, a couple of islands, a museum and a gorgeous sunset from the country’s most famous sunset viewpoint.

During the British era, Kanyakumari was called “Cape Comorin”. Apart from being the southernmost point of the Indian peninsular, this town is also where one can see the union of three bodies of water – the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.

The ferry ride from the mainland to the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and onwards to the Thiruvalluvar Statue is another experience to look forward to. Book a one day cab trip from Trivandrum to Kanyakumari so you don’t have to stress about driving while enjoying your holiday.

What to Expect on your Kanyakumari Trip from Trivandrum

It is advisable to start early in the morning from Trivandrum to have sufficient time for all the sightseeing spots on the way to Kanyakumari. Here’s a broad overview of what you’ll be seeing:

From Trivandrum, it will take approximately 3 hours to reach Kanyakumari. The distance is almost a hundred kilometres, best covered via National Highway 66.

After having breakfast, your first stop will be the Kanyakumari Bagavathiamman Temple, also known as Arulmigu Bhagavathy Amman Temple or simply, Kanyakumari Temple, dedicated to the Hindu goddess, Kumari.

Next, you will hop on to a ferry that will take you to the famous Vivekananda Rock Memorial on the Lakshadweep Sea. It is here that Swami Vivekananda meditated for 3 days and decided to dedicate the rest of his life to humanity.

Another short ferry ride away is one of the tallest statues in India – the Thiruvalluvar Statue. This was erected in the millennial year of 2000 to honour the Tamil philosopher and poet – Valluvar.

You will then take the ferry back to the mainland and head towards the Government Museum. Glance through the galleries that exhibit articles on archaeology, geology, flora, fauna, and may other genres.

Only a minute’s worth of walk will bring you to the Gandhi Memorial (or Mahatma Gandhi Mandapam) which is dedicated to Gandhiji. Apart from being the spot where the freedom fighter’s ashes were once kept, the memorial displays certain artefacts from the era before Independence.

You will break for lunch before gearing up for your drive to Vattakottai Fort (or Circular Fort). This 18 th century fort is about 7 km from Kanyakumari, and provides a nice vantage point to look at the Western Ghats and the sea.

Relax by the Vattakottai Beach (or Circular Beach) on which the Vattakottai Fort stands. The colour of the sand here is black, unlike the beaches nearby.

Sit back in your hired car as you are taken to the Padmanabhapuram Palace in the afternoon. Also called the Kalkulam Palace, this 17 th century palace has plenty of rooms to be explored.

Take a tea break before moving on to Thanumalayan Temple (or Suchindram temple) which is almost an hour’s drive away. Marvel at the 7-storey high white shrine which has a few legends associated with it.

Next, the car will take you back to Kanyakumari for the glorious sunset at the tip of the coast. From the Sunset Viewpoint, you can see how three different seas meet and glow in the blazing sun.

Post sunset, you will be driven back to Trivandrum, with a halt somewhere for dinner.

Places to visit in one day in Kanyakumari when visiting from Trivandrum by private car

This one-day trip is meticulously designed to showcase the best of Kanyakumari, blending its rich history, spiritual essence, and breathtaking natural beauty all in one day. From the Kanyakumari temple, to the awe-inspiring Vivekananda Rock Memorial, every stop is a testament to the region’s diverse appeal. We ensure a seamless tour, making the most of your day without missing any key attractions.

1. Arulmigu Bhagavathy Amman Temple

Estimated to be between 2500 and 3000 years old, the Kanyakumari Bagavathiamman Temple was built to worship the girl child form ( kanya ) of the Hindu goddess Parvati. Don’t miss the sparkling ruby nose-ring on the idol when you enter.

They follow the dress code quite strictly. Men are not allowed to keep their shirt or kurta on. They must enter bare-chested. Also, jeans are not allowed inside. Men can either wear pants or dhoti (traditional Indian unstitched apparel for the lower body which needs to be draped). Women are also advised to be modestly dressed, preferably in a saree and blouse.

2. Vivekananda Rock Memorial

This memorial on the rock was built in 1970 to honour Swami Vivekananda, a monk who helped spread Hindu philosophies to the Western countries. It is said that he attained enlightenment while meditating on this rock, off the shore of Kanyakumari mainland.

There are three prominent structures on this rock – Vivekananda Mandapam, Shripada Mandapam and a shrine named Sri Padaparai Mandapam. People claim to have seen footprints of Kumari – the virgin goddess on the rock here. There are multiple halls within the mandapams which let you meditate and look at the statues. The Vivekananda Rock Memorial also appeared on one of the stamps issued by the Government of India in 1996.

3. Thiruvalluvar Statue

Measuring 133 feet (or 40.6 metres), this statue sculpted by V. Ganapati Sthapati aims to remember the famous Tamil poet Valluvar. The stone sculpture is also a tribute Valluvar’s literary work – Thirukkural which has 133 chapters, each foot of the height of the statue denoting a chapter. The face itself is 19 feet long and this statue weighs a whopping 7000 tons!

An interesting fact about its construction is that the sculptors carved the features of Valluvar by hand. The quantum of work required that about 50 chisels be used by each craftsman on a daily basis. Most of the outer stone is granite, and hence, quite durable in the sea which would otherwise corrode metal.

4. Government Museum

Opened in 1991, the Kanyakumari Government Museum preserves a wide variety of outdoor and indoor exhibits. To better understand the heritage of the ancient kings who ruled southern India, the galleries display coins, weights and measures, artillery, dolls, musical instruments, kitchenware, idols of Hindu gods, paintings and sculptures.

However, the main attraction remains a temple chariot made of whale bone. The museum is open on all days except Fridays, 2 nd Saturdays and national holidays. Entry is between 9:30 AM and 5 PM. School children enter free, and Indian adults pay INR 5 per head. Foreigners are charged INR 100 or USD 2.

5. Gandhi Memorial (or Mahatma Gandhi Mandapam)

Even though Mahatma Gandhi visited Kanyakumari only twice, a portion of his ashes (which were distributed in 12 urns to various parts of India) arrived here. His memorial has been erected where one of the urns containing his ashes was kept before it was eventually immersed in the Indian Ocean.

The height of the main spire of the mandapam bears symbolic significance as it is 79 feet high, denoting the 79 years Gandhiji spent on earth. Open from 7 in the morning until 7 in the evening, the Gandhi Memorial is free for all to enter. You will have to remove your shoes before stepping in, though. A token amount of INR 1 is levied for the storage of your shoe. If you wish to enter the library inside the building, visit on a Friday or a Saturday.

6. Vattakottai Fort (or Circular Fort)

A 15-minute drive from Kanyakumari’s southern tip will bring you to the 18 th century fort of Vattakottai. The word literally means ‘circular’. Built in the times of the Travancore Kingdom, the fort was revamped by a former Dutch naval officer. The sturdy barracks and the entire defence fortification is made of granite, making it durable despite its location by the coast.

The fort is open to visitors on all days between 9 AM and 5 PM. Entry is free for children and costs only INR 25 for adults. To make the most of your visit to this fort, climb to the top and watch the expansive views on offer on each side. You will see the hills of the Western Ghats on one end, and the Vattakottai Beach on the other.

7. Vattakottai Beach (or Circular Beach)

Right next to the Vattakottai Fort is the Vattakottai Beach. Also known as the Circular Beach, the sand here is peculiarly black. This is usually due to the deposit of heavy minerals, a result of the waves bringing ashore particles from the deep sea. The colour also signifies that the underlying soil is volcanic.

It is generally not advisable to swim in seas that wash black sand as the water tends to be slightly acidic. You can take great pictures here, though! The view of the fort in the background makes for a magnificent prop for perspective photography.

8. Padmanabhapuram Palace

About 35 kilometres from Kanyakumari, the town of Padmanabhapuram was once the capital of Travancore Kingdom. Built at the foothills of the Veli Hills, the Padmanabhapuram Palace is fortified on all sides by a 4 kilometre long granite fortress.

The palace dates back to 1601 A.D. It was built by the king Iravi Varma Kulasekhara Perumal. It was rebuilt in 1750 by King Anizham Thirunal Marthanda Varma. Although this palace is physically located in the state of Tamil Nadu, it belongs to the Government of Kerala. The palace also features typical traditional Kerala architecture, with its sloped brick roofs and a clock tower in the premises.

9. Thanumalayan Temple

Also known as the Suchindram Temple, the Thanumalayan Temple is located in the Suchindram area of Kanyakumari district. The temple pays homage to the Hindu gods of Shiva (Stanu), Vishnu (Mal) and Brahma (Ayan). Hence, it’s also called the Sthanumalayan Temple.

A striking attribute of this temple is the 7-storey gopuram which is white in colour and 40 metres in height. The surface is embellished with idols of deities from Hindu mythology. There are a number of interesting features in the construction of the temple. For instance, four of its 18-feet tall monolithic pillars play music when struck. The dancing hall in the temple has 1035 pillars, making it a sight worth seeing.

10. Kanyakumari Sunset Viewpoint

Perhaps the most scenic of all the attractions in Kanyakumari is the only natural one – its beautiful sunset. The Sunset Viewpoint attracts a lot of sightseers just before the sun is about to set. It is worth waiting for the sunset as you get to see the sky change colours – from light blue to yellow to orange to deep red to an ethereal purple to midnight blue to finally, black.

Your car can be parked just inside on the pavement as you enjoy the handiwork of God. Note that this viewpoint is different from the regular beach. You will have to pay INR 30 to enter here, whereas the beach does not have any entry charge.

What to Eat during your Full Day Kanyakumari Sightseeing Tour from Trivandrum by Taxi?

Enjoying its perfect position between Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Kanyakumari offers the perfect place to taste the best of both the cuisines. After rice, cassava is an important source of carbohydrates for the locals of Kanyakumari.

Tapioca extracted from this root plant is used in a dish called ‘ maravazhi kilangu ’ which is served with fish curry. The Coromandel Coast happens to be a great place to taste the fresh catch from the sea.

When it comes to chips, banana, tapioca and jackfruit are available at almost every snack shop here. It is a good idea to taste before you buy a big pack to gift your family and friends. Apart from chips, jackfruit is also eaten in its raw fruit form.

If you are worried about an aching stomach after eating too much jackfruit, consider trying their spicy jackfruit curries. If you crave for some deep-fried comfort food, sample a plate of pazha bhaji . These are basically batter-fried bananas.

South Indian breakfast items are so much more than dosas, idlis and uttapams. While you will easily find these in Kanyakumari, grab the opportunity to gorge on some freshly made appam with coconut broth on the side. Appams are bowl-shaped rice pancakes which are fluffy at the centre and crispy at the edges.

One speciality from the neighbouring country of Sri Lanka is the kotthu roti or kotthu parotta . Usually made to utilize leftovers, this meal is made with rotis or parottas torn into small pieces and stir-fried with mixed vegetables or meat. They’re quite spicy because of the sauce which is added to the dish.

Tamil Nadu’s famous pongal is not just a dish but also a festival. Pongal is made of rice and pulses, and cooked to a porridge-like consistency.

Vegetarians should try their valakkai porial which is a dish made mainly with coconut and banana, among other vegetables. This is deliciously flavoured with curry leaves and tempered with black gram and chickpea pulses.

For the non-vegetarians, meen kolambu is a local favourite. It is a preparation of freshly caught sea fish which is marinated in tamarind and lime, among other spices. It is best enjoyed with the simple, unpretentious steamed rice.

Rice is undoubtedly the most eaten staple in this part of India. You will not only be able to enjoy regular varieties of cooked rice (plain rice, cumin-rice, tamarind-rice, etc.), but also dishes made of flattened rice (commonly known as poha ).

Sweet aval is a popular pick-me-up made with jiggery, hence the dark brown colour. For desserts, rice, milk, coconut and vermicelli are freely used. Indulge in a bowl of rice kheer or vermicelli payasam to finish your spicy meals.

If you are bored of coconut water, palm juice and banana mixed fruit juice are alternative thirst-quenchers.

Traditionally, the food here is served on banana leaves to minimize the use of water for washing utensils and also to ensure that the waste can be decomposed ethically. Also, people prefer to eat with their hands, believing that it adds to the taste of the dish and helps them connect with their food better.

8 Places to visit in Kanyakumari in a day

On our recent trip to Kerala, we traveled from Trivandrum to Kanyakumari by road. Although, we have been planning a trip from Bangalore to Kanyakumari for quiet a long time. And our initial plan was to cover Kanyakumari along with Rameshwaram on our 5 days trip to Madurai and Rameshwaram . But we rather ended up exploring the Karaikudi region and enjoying the Chettinad Tourism and Thanjavur Brihadeeshwara Temple. As a result, we had to leave Kanyakumari from our trip itinerary.

So, this time around, when we planned our road trip across Kerala, we decided to add Kanyakumari to it. Although we could only spare one day to spend in Kanyakumari before driving to Madurai for a night halt there. On this trip, along with Kanyakumari we also drove through Coimbatore, Palakkad, Athirapally, Kochi, Munnar, Alleppey, Varkala and Kovalam.

Coming back to our trip to Kanyakumari, let me summarise here the best places to visit in Kanyakumari in one day, like we did. The good thing is that all the major places to visit in Kanyakumari are very close to each other. So, you can easily cover them in a short span of time.

Kanykumari is the southern most town of India. It is a place where the three seas from three different directions surrounding the Indian Peninsula meet – the Arabian sea from west, the Indian Ocean from South and the Bay of Bengal from east. Also, Kanyakumari is a very sacred Hindu pilgrimage destination with very old temples to visit. So, now that we have quickly established the significance of Kanyakumari in India, let’s dive right into our list of places to visit in Kanyakumari in one day.

Table of Contents

Places to visit in Kanyakumari in one day

This is the order in which we visited the places in Kanyakumari in one day

Padmanabhapuram Palace

A beautiful Travancore era palace that is also known as Kalkulam Palace, Padmanabhapuram Palace was our first stop on our road trip from Thiruvananthapuram to Kanyakumari. Although this palace lies in Tamil Nadu, it is maintained by the Kerala government. Because earlier this palace was under the jurisdiction of Travancore kingdom in Kerala. Constructed around 1601 CE, possibly Padmanabhapuram Palace is one of the oldest palaces in India. . The  name of the palace is derived from “Padmanabha” , a form of Lord Vishnu.

Among other things, some notable facts about this palace include :

• A secret passageway that connects to another palace called Charottu Kottaram
• Huge hall with capacity of more than 1000 people
• A 300 plus years old clock on its clock tower
• An entire room filled with old Chinese jars, all gifts by Chinese merchants
• Antique furnitures
• A cot made of stone!
• Several interesting paintings depicting the history of Travancore

With so many interesting things to see, the Padmanabhapuram Palace definitely tops our list as one of the places to visit in Kanyakumari in one day.

If you are in the town of Kanyakumari, you can hire an auto to reach this Palace. As it is at around 1 hour driving distance from the town of Kanyakumari.

Timings of Padmanabhapuram Palace : 9:00am – 4:30pm

Sunset point Kanyakumari

Of all the places in India, the sunsets of Kanyakumari are considered one of the most beautiful. Alas, we couldn’t stay here till sunset. But, if you are staying overnight in Kanyakumari, you should definitely visit this site towards the evening and observe the sunset from here. Towards sunset, the sky gets coloured in so many hues with the effect of water from all different sides and the uninterrupted view of the setting sun at the juncture of the three seas !

Kanyakumari Lighthouse

Very near to sunset point lies Kanyakumari Lighthouse. Although not as famous as the lighthouse of Kovalam. But it is definitely as beautiful. So, you can walk upto the lighthouse next.

Kanyakaumari Beach

One of the most beautiful beaches of Kanyakumari is the Kanyakumari beach 🙂 With water of three different seas that you can see from here. And how the different shades of the water mix together and produce a beautiful scene. Kanyakumari Beach is the next must visit place on our list of places to visit in Kanyakumari in one day.

Arulmigu Bhagavathy Amman Aalayam

One of the most important temples of Kanyakumari is Arulmigu Bhagavathy Amman Aalayam. This temple is located right near the Kanyakumari beach, again on a walking distance. So, from the beach, you can head here and visit the temple. Or, you can visit the temple first and then head to the beach. Whatever suits you.

The temple is thousands of years old. And it is located right on the confluence of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Arabian sea. The architecture of the temple is beautiful beyond words. It is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Kumari. And thus the name of the town “Kanyakumari”. Actually this temple is one of the 108 “ Shakti Peethas ” of India. A visit to this temple is believed to bring great luck and prosperity.

Timings of Bhagavathy Amman Temple Kanyakumari : 4:30am – 12:30pm, 4:00pm-8:30pm all days of the week.

Vivekanand Rock Memorial

One of the most popular places in Kanyakumari is Vivekanand Rock Memorial. Situated on a rock right in the middle of the ocean, the Vivekanand Rock Memorial is built in honour of Swamy Vivekanand who meditated for 3 days at a stretch here. You can buy the round trip ticket to the Vivekanand Rock Memorial from the ticket counter priced at INR 50. The ticket counter is located near Kanyakumari beach. From here, regular ferries ply to the Vivekanand Rock Memorial. The only other time we had an experience similar to the one being here was on our trip to Andaman Islands .

Once to step on the memorial, it is a magical feeling being in the center of the ocean that you get! So, I made it a priority to be able to make it here on my trip to Kanyakumari.

Thiruvalluvar Statue

Located on another rock right besides Vivekanand Rock Memorial is Thuruvalluvar Statue. The ferry can next take you here before returning back to the mainland. The statue is a massive 133 ft high one and weighs 7000 tonnes ! Thiruvalluvar statue signifies that wealth and love should be earned and enjoyed on the solid foundation of ethical virtues. The island rocks on which it lies are around 400m from the coastline of Kanyakumari.

Vattakottai Fort

If possible, you can take a little detour from the main town of Kanyakumari and visit the Vattakottai Fort. Another old fort of the region which is mostly dilapidated now. But provides beautiful views of the surrounding green meadows from atop.

More places to visit in Kanyakumari

It will be simply impossible to accommodate any further sight seeing in your itinerary until either you are planning to halt in Kanyakumari itself for the night. Or, if you have more days added to your Kanyakumari trip plan. A perfect Kanyakumari trip itinerary should include at least 2 nights stay at Kanyakumari. However, our Kanyakumari trip experience was a very unique one wherein we covered all the above places in transit from Trivandrum to Kanyakumari to Madurai. If you do have time in Kanyakumari, you can visit these places as well:

Mahatma Gandhi Mandapa, Kanyakumari

This marks the place where Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes were held after his death. The mandapam is built around the place. And faces the sea.

Our Lady of Ransom Shrine, Kanyakumari

It is a catholic church located in the center of Kanyakumari and one of the most beautiful churches of the area.

Kanyakumari Food Court

Although not a point to visit, you will cross it while visiting the other points. As it is located on the main Kanyakumari street connecting the memorial square , temple , Vivekananda Rock Ferry and all the other places. So, you can plan for your lunch here.

Tsunami Memorial Park

On 26th Dec 2004 a massive tsunami had hit east and south coast of India. There were lasting impacts on Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry and parts of Kerala. Some of the islands in Andaman & Nicobar islands group got submersed in water forever. And many lives were lost. The Tsunami Memorial Park in Kanyakumari commemorates the people of Kanyakumari and around who lost their lives to the tsunami.

Sunrise View

Since Kanyakumari is located on the southern most tip of India at the conjuncture of two seas and one ocean, it is a perfect place where you can the sun both rise as well as set into the sea. So, adjacent to the sunset view point, there is another point where you can capture extremely beautiful sunrises. This is called the sunrise view point. And is located almost on the Kanyakumari beach only. Although I didn’t view a sunrise here, I can imagine how beautiful it must be at the confluence of 3 vast seas !!

The hidden twin beach

Located close to the Bhagavathy Amman Temple, Kanyakumari and also very near to the Kanyakumari bus station, the hidden twin beach is a very beautiful stretch of coastline in Kanyakumari. Those visiting the Vivekanand Rock memorial often stop here to enjoy the natural landscape here. It is also one of the few beaches in India where facilities are present to sit and relax and enjoy nature.

Eco Park Kanyakumari

A beautiful park developed in Kanyakumari by the department of horticulture. Reminds me of some of the most beautiful landscaped gardens of South India that I have visited like the botanical garden in Pondicherry and the Brindavan Gardens in Mysore.

Entry fee to Eco Park Kanyakumari : INR 20 per adult, free for kids

Timing of eco park Kanyakumari : 11:00 am – 7:30 pm all days of the week

How to reach Kanyakumari

Kanyakumari is very well connected to rest of India via both rail as well as road network. It is in this town that the southernmost tip of Indian mainland is located. There is a train called Kanyakumari Express that connects all the way from Jammu in the northernmost part of India to Kanyakumari. From Trivandrum to Kanyakumari train frequency is also very good. And so is from the nearby regions of Tamil Nadu including Madurai, Thanjavur and Rameshwaram.

The road connectivity from Kanyakumari to Trivandrum, Madurai, Rameshwaram and other nearby places is also excellent. And public buses are abundant. A major National Highway of India NH 44 runs all the way from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. We have covered most of the parts of this highway. On our trip to Kashmir , on our road trip from Bangalore to MP wherein we drove from Bangalore to Jabalpur and Bhedaghat on this NH. And also on our trips to Madurai, Rameshwaram and other south India places. This highway is also in excellent condition.

Trivandrum airport is the nearest airport to Kanyakumari. The distance from Trivandrum to Kanyakumari is just 95 km which can be easily covered in less than 3 hours. Trivandrum to Kanyakumari train ticket price starts at as low as INR 190 for second class and INR 1000 for AC class at the time of this writing. Also, Trivandrum to Kanyakumari bus tickets are very reasonably priced. And you can always hire a taxi or self drive as well on this stretch.

Where to stay in Kanyakumari

There are many budget accommodations across the town of Kanyakumari. And then there are many luxury resorts by the beach as well. You can plan to stay in any of these based on your budget. here’s a list of hotels in Kanyakumari to browse through. We stayed in Thiruvananthapuram at the Vivanta by Taj Hotel. And from there, we traveled to Kanyakumari in the morning. And after covering the places to visit in Kanyakumari in one day as per our plan, around 2:30pm, we proceeded for Madurai. So, we really didn’t stay in Kanyakumari. In Madurai, we stayed at hotel Amika which was really close to the NH 44. So, we could avoid navigating the city crowd when we started on our trip back home from Madurai then next day.

When is the best time to visit Kanyakumari

Kanyakumari is mostly a hot destination. And it can be visited year round. In the monsoon months, if you choose days when it is cloudy to explore around Kanyakumari, you will be comfortable. Even in winter months of November, December and January, temperature almost remains constant and at the higher side of mercury only. We visited here in the first week of October. And it was such a pleasant visit. Although it was hot, still when you are near the sea and you get the sea breeze from all 3 sides, then you really don’t feel hot. That reminds me, being surrounded by sea from all three sides, Kanyakumari is also one of the most windy places in India. You will find several windmills around this town, harnessing the wind energy which is quiet a sight to behold.

Nagercoil and Kanyakumari

Nagercoil is a very scenic hill town near Kanyakumari. On your drive from Trivandrum to Kanyakumari, you can drive through Nagercoil. There are several beautiful hills, meadows and breathtaking view of Arabian Sea that you get to witness from here. So, do plan to visit Nagercoil and Kanyakumari together when you plan to visit Kanyakumari.

General tips on visiting Kanyakumari

Tourist places of Kanyakumari-thiruvananthapuram

Top 12 things to do in and around kanyakumari..

Kanyakumari or Cape Comorin is the southernmost tip of the India. It is situated at the confluence to three seas viz. the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. It is a Popular tourist destination of Southern India. The Kanyakumari is known for its unique ocean sunrise, sunset and moonrise. Famous places of Kanyakumari are Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar Statue, a great Tamil Poet and philosopher.

How to Reach Kanyakumari:

Trivandrum International Airport, Kerala is the nearest airport. It is about 90 KM from Kanyakumari and take around 3 hours to reach there.

Nagercoil Junction (Station code: NCJ) (20 Km) is nearest main Railway Station. The other one is Kanyakumari Station (Station code: CAPE), which is about 5 KM from the Kanyakumari beach.

Best time to visit Kanyakumari and Thiruvananthapuram :

Best time to visit the coastal places of the Southern India is December and January. At this time, the temperature in Northern India is chilled and harsh but comfortable in Southern India. You can also visit in the months of November and February.

In summers, you can visit the hill stations of Southern India which I will cover in different post.

Top 12 Tourist places in and around Kanyakumari:

The Kanyakumari is far from the Northern or Eastern or Western India. So every tourist wants to visit maximum places in one go with in their limited time schedule. I suggest to prepare at least 7 days program, so that you can find 5-6 clear days to visit top tourist places.

You can visit most of the tourist places of Kanyakumari in one & a half day with one or two nights but it purely depend upon from where are you coming from. So, plan your itinerary, accordingly.

Day 1: From Home to Kanyakumari:

From Indira Gandhi International Airport (T-3), there are 3 Air India flights daily at 05.15 Hrs, 12.30 Hrs and 13.10 Hrs. So, it’s better to choose 05.15 AM flight to reach Trivandrum International Airport at 08.30 AM. However, you can also choose any private Airlines flight, as per your convenience. Generally, Taxi took 3 hours to reach the Kanyakumari from there.

If you want to visit first to Kovalam beach or Thiruvananthapuram and nearby places then move to Kanyakumari as your last destination, it’s upto you.

I usually prefer to visit farthest place first and places nearest to Airport at last. The reason is to catch my return flight without any delay or facing inconvenience due to traffic/ landslide/ road blockage or for any other reason etc. But, it’s up to you to decide what is better option for you.

Check-in your Hotel at Kanyakumari; take lunch and rest for 3-4 hours. After evening tea, take your camera and move from the Hotel for your first activity.

Choose Best Beach Hotel for stay at Kanyakumari.

1. Sunset and Sunrise at Kanyakumari Beach:

Witness Sunset from View Tower located at Kanyakumari Beach, which may be a very good memory, if you are the lucky one. Reach View Tower at least half an hour before sunset or sunrise to find a suitable place in crowd, else you will miss the beautiful scenes there. Similarly, you have to reach the tower in the morning to see the rising sun from the sea/water, if lucky.

Day 2: Kanyakumari:

2. vivekananda rock memorial:.

Swami Vivekananda visited Kanyakumari in 1892. In 1970, a memorial was built in his honour and name as Vivekananda Rock Memorial . It is said that he attained enlightenment on the same rock where the Goddess Kanyakumari carried out part of her penance by standing on one foot to marry the Shiva.

The memorial consists of a pavilion with a life-size bronze statue of the Swami, a hall with information about his life, and a meditation area. There’s also a carving of the Goddess’s foot on the rock.

A 15-20 minute ferry from Kanyakumari beach will take you the Memorial. The ferry services starts from 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. or 5.30 p.m., depending upon the time of the year.

Remember, during peak season, there is a long queue for normal ferry ride ticket, so buy a premium ticket at a cost of around 160 rupees per person to save 2-3 hours of your valuable time.

3. Visit to the Thiruvalluvar Statue

Visit 133 feet tall stone sculpture of the Tamil poet and philosopher Valluvar . It denotes the 133 chapters of the Tirukkural, an ancient Tamil work on secular ethics and morality. The Sculpture is located atop a smaller neighboring rock, just off the coast of Kanyakumari. Ferries to Vivekananda Rock Memorial stop at the Thiruvalluvar statue afterwards, if the tide and local authorities permits.

4. Pay a visit to Arulmigu Bhagavathy Amman Temple

Pay a visit to Arulmigu Bhagavathy Amman Temple, dedicated to Goddess Kanyakumari, who is worshiped as a great protector after destroying mighty demon king Banasura. Kanyakumari Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths. Devotees can visit the temple from 4.30 a.m. to noon and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Photography is prohibited.

5. Mahatma Gandhi Memorial

The Mahatma Gandhi visited Kanyakumari twice in the year 1925 and 1937. After his demise in 1948, out of 12, one ashes urn was brought to Kanyakumari for immersion in the sea. A memorial was later constructed at the location where the ashes were kept for public viewing, near Kumari Amman Temple. At noon on October 2, Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, the sun’s rays fall through a hole in the temple’s roof and onto the place where the ashes kept in an urn.

6. Our Lady of Ransom church

A beautiful statue of Mother Mary got from Italy and clad in a sari and a little Cross on the altar. The Our Lady of Ransom church is constructed by the model of ancient Gothic Art and culture. Length of the new Church is 153 feet, breadth 53 feet and height of the main tower is 153 feet. This entire dimension depicts the beads of the Holy Rosary. There are 12 towers in the church which depict 12 disciples of Jesus Christ.

Two golden chariots dedicated to Our lady of Ransom and St. Joseph have been constructed during 1798 AD and 1833 AD respectively. The Golden car procession on the main street around the church is convened during the annual festival of Our Lady of Ransom.

7. Shops and Stalls- Souvenir selection:

Buy some souvenir from Kanyakumari in the form of Shells, painted shells, handicrafts made from shells. The products decorated with shells be purchased from regular shops or vendor near the Amman Temple as well as stalls at Kanyakumari beach. You can even get a customized shell with your name engraved on it.

Purchase some fresh and quality dry fruits and Spices but check twice before purchasing them.

Day 3: From Kanyakumari to Kovalam:

Watch Sunrise from View Tower or view point or Kanyakumari beach in the morning before moving towards the Kovalam.

8. POOVAR ISLAND:

On the way, you can visit Poovar Island which is a must visit place for backwater cruise. Here, you can either go direct to various cruise providers or book online from www.poovarbackwatercruise.com. Check rates from their website before online booking. Reach at scheduled time and take a 2 hour ride in backwater which will be a great memory for you. The backwater cruise takes you to Golden Sand beach which is one of the cleanest beaches of Kerala. The waves are very strong here and you may feel the power of sea but you will love it.

Tourists, who are not the residents of the coastal places, may choose to stay in Kovalam near beaches rather than staying at Thiruvananthapuram and visiting Kovalam beach for 4-5 hours. Because, you cannot live or feel the life in Thiruvananthapuram which you can feel at Kovalam beaches. So, my suggestion is to stay in Hotels located at beaches in Kovalam, Kerala.

Choose Best Beach Hotel for stay at Kovalam Beach.

Kovalam is, situated on the shores of Arabian Sea, at a distance of 14 km from Trivandrum International Airport. It is 63 km from Kochi and 83 km from Kanyakumari. Kovalam is not only a famous Beaches destinations in Kerala but also in India. Foreign tourists mostly visit and prefer to stay in Kovalam near beaches.

Kovalam fulfills it’s literal meaning ‘A grove of coconut trees’ is filled with endless sight of coconut trees offering magnificent views while approaching the beach.
