• Bhagavathy Amman Temple - Begin your day with a morning pickup from your hotel in Kovalam. The journey to Kanyakumari, located 55 miles away, takes approximately two and a half hours.

Upon arrival in Kanyakumari, your first stop will be the 3000-year-old Kumari Amman Temple, located on the seashore. This temple is dedicated to the virgin Goddess Kanyakumari, who is believed to have defeated a demon at this very site.

• Vivekananda Rock Memorial - Your next destination is the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, situated on an island near the shore. It was here that the philosopher Swami Vivekananda meditated and decided to spread his teachings worldwide.

Enjoy lunch (at your own expense) at a local restaurant.

• Gandhi Memorial - Post-lunch, visit the Gandhi Memorial. Designed like a temple, this memorial is located by the sea at the site where his ashes were displayed for public homage before being immersed in the sea. The temple is an architectural wonder. On October 2nd, Gandhi’s birth anniversary, the sun’s rays illuminate the exact spot where his ashes were kept.
• Thiruvalluvar Statue - Next, take a ferry to the nearby island where a 133-foot-high statue of Thiruvalluvar, a renowned Tamil poet and philosopher, stands. This impressive stone statue resembles the Colossus of Rhodes. It required 5,000 sculptors to complete and weighs over 14 million pounds. The statue’s height symbolizes the 133 chapters of the poet’s celebrated work, Thirukkural.

Witness the vibrant colors of the sunset at the ocean’s edge before concluding your visit to Kanyakumari.

At the end of the tour, you will be driven back to Kovalam and returned to your hotel.
