Kanniyakumari, Tamil Nadu

 

Kanniyakumari holds a distinct status in various aspects, and we had the opportunity to explore this remarkable destination during our road trip in August of the previous year.

Sunrise 

 Situated at the southernmost point of the Indian mainland, it possesses a unique geographical feature as it serves as the convergence point for three significant water bodies: the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean. This exceptional characteristic contributes to its status as one of the most sought-after destinations in India.

Owing to its strategic location, Kanniyakumari offers the rare opportunity to witness both the sunrise and sunset along its coastlines. Moreover, it stands as the sole location in India where one can observe the captivating phenomenon of the simultaneous occurrence of the sunset and moonrise during Full Moon days.

Vivekananda Rock 

Thiruvalluvar Statue

Among the notable attractions in this region, the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Statue of Thiruvalluvar hold immense popularity. These two landmarks are situated adjacently in the sea and can be conveniently accessed via frequent ferry services.
