The triveni sangam at kanyakumari is breathtaking at dawn even at dusk. The sight of vivekananda rocks and a subsequent visit to the island is an experience. The changing lights & colours at both dusk n dawn are like no where else. there are many sunset n sunrise points but not a point like this. you donot mind the crowd... More

Nothing to dislike except the searing heat! There is a small temple dedicated to Swami Vivekananda which is manned by a very erudite priest...this was the original temple before the one on the Rock was built. A visit here will be very enlightening

There are plenty of hawkers, but they are not very aggressive. It is a great place to view people and the sunrise. The local shops along the way have nice packages of snacks for 20 Rupees or so. The banana chips are savory and really good. Do be careful in the water, if you go in.

I would like to tell all the travellers to watch out the rocks which lay under the waters on the beach line. I went inside and hurt my foot by one of such rocks. But otherwise the beach is a good place to enjoy. Lot of people from all across the country come here because this place holds religious significance.

If anyone is interested in watching sunset and sunrise,this is the place.You can take a morning walk or evening walk along the beach,which you cannot forget over your life. Here across the beach,stretching two to three kilometers,you can buy items at the cheapest price.Not much of cheating.Right from eatables to makeup items,combs to bangles etc .etc.There are many shops selling...

Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu is where the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean meet. It has a fasinating fishing village full of colours and very catholic and in the middle of all are Hindu pilgrimage sites with many many South Indian Hindus arriving daily. We saw all of Kanyakumari and loved most of all the incredible... More

Good for people and hopefully sunset watching- always very busy with lots to see - stalls, shops and pony rides.
