Overview
Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India, is a small coastal town in the state of Tamil Nadu. The town offers a breathtaking convergence of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean meeting at a single point. The beauty of this mesmerizing sight is that the waters of the three seas do not mix, allowing visitors to distinguish between the turquoise blue, deep blue, and sea green waters. In addition to this unique phenomenon, Kanyakumari also boasts stunning natural beauty with pristine beaches, gushing waterfalls, and a mountainous terrain with elevated patches of hills, coconut trees, and paddy fields. It is also the only place in India where you can witness both the sunrise and sunset at the same beach. The town is renowned for its sacred temples, ancient forts, and poignant memorials.
