Visiting the Vivekananda Rock Memorial was one of the most inspiring and peaceful experiences of my trip to Kanyakumari. Standing proudly in the middle of the ocean, the memorial marks the sacred spot where Swami Vivekananda meditated and attained enlightenment before his journey to spread his teachings across the world.
The ferry ride to the rock itself is a wonderful experience — the vast expanse of the sea, the cool breeze, and the sight of the statue of Thiruvalluvar standing tall nearby create an unforgettable view. Once you reach the memorial, the calmness of the place instantly surrounds you. Despite the visitors, there’s a deep sense of silence and spirituality in the air.
The structure is beautifully built, blending Indian architectural styles with simplicity and grace. Inside the meditation hall, it’s completely quiet — just you, the sound of the waves, and a feeling of deep peace. Sitting there for a few minutes made me feel truly centered and calm.
From the top, the panoramic view of the meeting point of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean is breathtaking. Watching the waves crash around the rock while the sun sets in the distance is a sight I’ll never forget.
Overall, the Vivekananda Rock Memorial is more than just a tourist attraction — it’s a place of reflection, strength, and inner peace. Whether you’re spiritual, curious, or simply love scenic beauty, this is one place in Kanyakumari that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
I visited Vivekananda Rock Memorial on a public holiday. Even though I had booked tickets online, I still had to wait for more than an hour to reach the entry point. There was another long queue for the boat service.
They actually have different types of tickets, ₹100 and ₹300 (both available online and offline). Online tickets get a slight priority for the boat, but waiting is still unavoidable on busy days. The boat ride itself is short, around 5 minutes, but it’s quite enjoyable.
Once you reach the rock, there’s a separate entry ticket of ₹30 to explore the memorial. The place is very calm, surrounded by the vast sea, truly beautiful and peaceful.
The glass bridge connecting the Thiruvalluvar Statue and Vivekananda Rock is another highlight. Walking on it, with the sea beneath, is a wonderful experience. The Thiruvalluvar Statue itself is a masterpiece, stunning and majestic.
Vivekananda Rock Memorial is an unforgettable experience and a must-visit landmark in Kanyakumari. Located in the middle of the ocean, the ferry ride itself feels exciting and gives amazing views of the coastline. The memorial is beautifully built, maintaining a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere as you walk around the rock where Swami Vivekananda meditated.
The panoramic view of the confluence of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean is truly breathtaking — especially during sunrise and sunset. The place is cleanly maintained and the staff are helpful in guiding visitors. You can spend time in meditation inside the hall, which feels very calming.
It’s a perfect combination of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kanyakumari!
I recently visited Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Statue, and the Glass Bridge — it was an amazing experience! 🌊✨
The ferry ride to the rocks was refreshing, and the view from the top was absolutely stunning. The Vivekananda Rock offers a peaceful atmosphere, while the Thiruvalluvar Statue stands tall and inspiring. The Glass Bridge gave a thrilling view of the ocean below — a must-try for adventure lovers!
Overall, it was a memorable trip filled with beauty, peace, and excitement. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kanyakumari. 🌅
Standing on the edge of India, where the Ocean meets the horizon.
Today's visit to Vivekananda Rock in Kanyakumari was truly a soul-stirring experience! This sacred spot, marking the southernmost tip of India, holds a special place in my heart.
The spiritual vibes, the stunning views, and the sense of being at the last edge of the india
Standing at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, surrounded by the vast meeting of three seas, I felt a deep calm. The ferry ride itself was serene, and the monument’s simplicity inspired reflection. Watching the waves crash around the rock felt like nature bowing to pure peace and purpose.
Very good and excellent place for holidays. Sunrise and sunset very famous here. Sea water and vivekananda memorial statue and Thiruvallur statue very nice. Must want to be seen in atleast one time in life time.

One of the famous and popular spot for tourists. One will be get so excited for the glimpse of few minutes sunrise view. Early morning alarms, looking for best spots, searching for high rise hotels for best view, prior Reece of the place for identifying best place. We were not lucky enough that day as it was raining for the past one week and it was cloudy in the morning. Enjoyed night view and early morning sea waves and pleasant weather. Must visit place
Sunrise Point in Kanyakumari offers a breathtaking view of the sun emerging from the vast Indian Ocean.
The vibrant hues of orange and pink reflecting on the waves create a truly magical scene.
It’s a peaceful and spiritual experience, especially with the sound of the sea breeze.
The place is well-maintained and easily accessible for early morning visitors.
A must-visit spot for nature lovers and photographers visiting Kanyakumari.
I reached Kanyakumari at around 5:30 in the morning and rushed to the sunrise point, but it was already filled with people and more kept coming in. I knew the sunrise would be around 6:10 (in October), so I patiently waited. If you arrive closer to that time, it’s almost impossible to find a spot because of the huge crowd.
After some time, I finally witnessed the sunrise live and it was truly beautiful and mesmerizing. The most exciting part was the waiting itself, watching the colors of the sky slowly change as the sun began to rise. A peaceful yet unforgettable experience. 🌅

The Vivekananda Rock Memorial, built in 1970, honors Swami Vivekananda, who meditated here before spreading his message of peace and spirituality around the world. Beside it, the Thiruvalluvar Statue, a 133-foot tall stone sculpture, commemorates the revered Tamil poet and philosopher Thiruvalluvar, symbolizing wisdom and virtue.
The spot is beautifully maintained, with paved walkways, seating areas, and clear sea views, making it an ideal place for photography and quiet reflection. Early morning visitors can enjoy the peaceful ambiance, cool sea breeze, and the enchanting blend of history, culture, and natural beauty — all in one place.

Need to wake up early and visit. It will be crowded if you go late and will miss the view. In case of clouds and rain it will be difficult to aee the sun. Walkable distance near boating place.
Awesome beach to experience both sunrise and sunset. Loved the place . Have a path way to see. Lots of shops for handmade items and other street shops
Absolutely blissful experience. Loved the view. But if you are going with children better be cautious about the rocks.

A truly divine experience! The temple is well maintained, clean, and filled with a strong spiritual aura. The sight of the goddess is so powerful and calming, giving a sense of peace and devotion. The location near the confluence of the three seas makes it even more special—you can feel the energy of nature and faith together. Early mornings are the best time to visit for a peaceful darshan before the crowd gathers. An unforgettable place of worship that touches both heart and soul.
Arulmigu Devi Kanyakumari Bhagavathi Amman Temple is one of the most revered and ancient temples in South India, located at the southernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. Dedicated to Goddess Bhagavathi Amman, a manifestation of Goddess Parvati, the temple holds immense spiritual, cultural, and historical significance.
According to legend, the Goddess took the form of a virgin to destroy the demon king Banasura, who was causing distress to the gods and people. The temple’s presiding deity, the virgin goddess, is believed to embody purity, power, and divine grace. The idol of the Goddess is adorned with a glittering diamond nose ring, which is so bright that it is said to be visible even from the sea.

A beautiful and peaceful temple located right by the seashore — one of Kanyakumari’s most spiritual spots. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Kanyakumari and is known for its divine atmosphere and unique seaside location. The morning darshan is the best time to visit (around 5:30–7:30 AM) when it’s less crowded and you can hear the sound of waves in the background.
Phones and cameras aren’t allowed inside, so it’s a nice break from screens — you can really just soak in the calm and positive vibes. The temple is well-maintained, and the nearby shops and ocean view make the visit even more special.
A must-visit when in Kanyakumari! 🌅
One of the most loved temples, a must visit place in Kanyakumari. Beside the temple premises you can spend time near the ocean, enjoying the vastness of ocean and it's humongous waves along with vivekananda rock view. There you can have bathing place too.
The Place having such historical significance should be maintained by private players who are very enthusiastic about Vivekananda.
TN govt worst maintenance always no passion, vision or enthusiastic in anything that they do.
Pros
The rock is maintained well, obviously it's not maintained by Govt it's self evident.
Glass bridge (negative too)
Cons
Online booking for the ferry is broken the payments get declined due to fraudulently notice. Shows Present TN Govt ethics..
For a 2 min ride in boat charging 100 for ferry is unrealistic.
Rs. 300 special ferry charges is a scam and has notthing in it, you better avoid this and buy only if you are in a hurry and there is a long que. Be advised Que moves fast so no point in special ticket.
The glass bridge idea as a whole is good, but no one to maintain it so there's no visibility below especially when there's slight rain. So if no maintenance is done by cleaning the surface then no point in building it.
To a govt who had the mind to build a glass bridge between the two rocks could have also built another bridge connecting main land as its hardly 50mtrs. See Google Maps or My Pics.
Main Con not sure why Stalin picture is there in the Govt boat. The guy doesn't believe in Hinduism, hence has got nothing to do with Vivekananda swami.
Ferry are so badly maintained that you would get scarred if you see then afar.
The Maintenance area is so small

Beautiful Location & View, but Room Maintenance Needs Work
I stayed here for one night with family and had booked a sea-view room — and the view was truly excellent. The room size was also quite good, and the rooftop restaurant offers a stunning ocean view, which made the experience memorable.
The location is prime, walking distance from the temple and the boat jetty. The staff were courteous and helpful too.
However, the room maintenance was just okay, and cleanliness could definitely be improved. The bathroom fittings and overall finish looked worn out. Food quality was also average — not bad, but nothing special either.
If you're looking for a short stay with a great view and central location, this place works — but don’t expect high standards in cleanliness or upkeep.
Very good property. View of the ocean from seaview rooms. Could have balcony but I won't complain. Cleanliness is good. Service is great. Food/breakfast is clean. The reception guys were really nice to us. Thank you for the great stay;
Brilliant hotel and wonderful hospitality by hotel staff. Very big rooms and just mesmerizing scienaary from room windows as sea is just behind the hotel. All the sight scene places just walkable to the hotel. I would love to come again and stay here for a longer period of time. Highly referred to all who wants to come to Kanyakunari and enjoy their stay here.
It was a good stay for us at this hotel. The sea facing rooms had a great view of the sea. Also the restaurant on the 7th floor has an amazing view of the sea.
I must mention that the receptionist/front office personnel was not very welcoming. His replies weren't very friendly and he was short tempered. He doesn't care about providing the customers with a good service. We booked rooms on the 4th floor but were given rooms in the 3rd floor which seemed deliberate.
The location is top notch. The views from the place are amazing. The rooms definitely need a revamp. The mirror light was messing up again and again. Overall the feel isn’t really up to the mark. The bathroom despite having a shower did not work. If these things are ignored, it’s a good stay.
Fantastic location.. awesome staff.. very poor restaurant and onsite facilities.. the staff do everything to make things better.. cleanliness was good.. but a very dated hotel with beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding areas
The worst part of this hotel is the rude, unhelpful reception manager. We were given a room with broken locks, and he argued with us until we showed him a picture. We then had to move our own bags to a new room where the lights didn't even work. The buffet breakfast is horrible, and they try to scam you by giving you a bad room and charging a high price for a sea-facing 'upgrade'. The only good thing was the sunrise. Do not stay here. I have added a pic of the manager

Vegetarian restaurant
Hotel Saravana is a renowned name in South Indian vegetarian cuisine, offering a delightful variety of dosas, idlis, vadas, and filter coffee. The restaurant chain is known for its exceptional taste and hospitality, ensuring a satisfying and memorable dining experience. Whether you're craving crispy dosas or soft idlis with coconut chutneys and hot sambar, Hotel Saravana promises an authentic Tamil food experience that locals and tourists love.
For dinner during our two-day visit to Kanyakumari, we happily ate at Hotel Saravana both nights. This restaurant is in a prime location and offers an impressive vegetarian menu featuring a wide variety of both South and North Indian options. The space is generous, with comfortable seating in both AC and non-AC sections. However, the true highlight of our dining experience was the exceptional service provided by our waiters on separate days: Rajesh and Praveen. Even with a language barrier, both gentlemen went above and beyond to ensure we had a truly pleasant and enjoyable meal, demonstrating genuine hospitality that made us eager to return.

They have no hygiene. I had ordered a masala dosa and idli. They brought the food on a banana leaf, and that was put on a plate. The plate was very dirty, had brown water flowing on it. When I asked the waiter to clean this, he said you can just take the leaf and remove the plate. I then had to take the plate to the manager, who finally asked to change it. Really poor attitude, bad taste and poor hygiene. Would not recommend to anyone.
This is located near Bhagavati Amman Temple and it's a pure vegeterian restaurant. We had both breakfast and lunch at this place. Both were very good. We tried idly and pongal in breakfast, which costed us ~₹250.We enjoyed the Amman Lunch Special Meal from the menu. Needless to say it was one of the most satisfying dishess.
Located perfectly near the rock memorial and Mandir this is a famous and good food joint. It has good food options specially south Indian food. washroom available . Good seating space. Separate AC room. Pongal was very authentic and tasty. Cost is about okay.
I was extremely disappointed with the food service at this hotel. The prices were very high, but the food quality was the absolute worst. We ordered Dosa and Chapathi, and everything was served cold and hard. Most concerningly, the coconut chutney tasted rotten. When we complained, the staff gave a careless response, essentially implying that they don't care about the quality because they are in a high-tourist area. Avoid dining here if you value hygiene and fresh, quality food.
Very near to Kanyakumari beach, this restaurant is a rare find – relatively clean and hygienic. The food's decent, though dosas could be crispier, and the pongal and curd vada were average. However, the spacious seating and AC compartment are definite perks, making it a comfortable pit stop near the beach.
A very well maintained pure veg restaurant just in front of Kanyakumari temple. Service was very fast, clean and well maintained. Good sitting arrangement. A little bit overpriced but tasted good. Sitting area is good. Masala Dosa is rs 120.
The hotel is overhyped. The prices are high, and the taste is quite basic. We tried the masala dosa in the morning, which was average, and later the much-promoted Anna Lekshmi Special Meal at lunch, which also wasn’t very impressive. Overall, if you’re looking for a peaceful place to eat, this works — otherwise, you can find tastier options elsewhere.
As there were not many good family restaurants nearby, we gave this place another chance on the second night. We tried the Mushroom 65 fried rice and paneer chili. Though the paneer chili was good, the mushroom fried rice was not even tasty. To make matters worse, we saw a rat below a nearby sofa. Definitely not recommended.

Padmanabhapuram Palace, located in Thuckalay near Kanyakumari, is a grand complex showcasing the finest traditional Keralan architecture. Built in the 16th century by the Travancore dynasty's Ravipillai Perumal, it boasts intricately carved rosewood ceilings and polished-teak beams.
Visited the Padmanabhapuram Palace, and it was truly impressive! 🏰
The palace showcases beautiful wooden architecture, antique interiors, and traditional Kerala design. Each room tells a story of history and royal life. The carvings and craftsmanship are amazing.
However, the palace area is quite large, so it takes some time to explore — but it’s definitely worth it. The surroundings are peaceful and well maintained.
A must-visit spot for anyone interested in heritage and history! 🌿✨
Bala S — Google review
Padmanabhapuram Palace is a breathtaking architectural marvel that showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of Kerala. Located in Tamil Nadu's Kanyakumari district, this stunning wooden palace is a must-visit destination for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts.
Highlights:
Exquisite Woodwork: The palace features intricate wooden carvings and craftsmanship that will leave you mesmerized.
Historical Significance: Built in the 16th century, the palace served as the capital of the Travancore kingdom and offered a glimpse into the region's royal past.
Well-Maintained: Despite being a popular tourist spot, the palace is well-maintained by the Kerala government, ensuring a pleasant experience for visitors.
Informations:
Best Time to Visit: Plan your visit between 9:00 AM and 12:30 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM to avoid crowds. Entry may temporary closed in noon.
Dress Code: Wear comfortable footwear, as you'll need to remove them before entering.
Camera Fee: Be prepared to pay an additional fee for camera usage. (Applicable for mobile cams as well)
The seven-acre palace near Thuckalay is surrounded by hills, rivers, and waterfalls, making it very scenic. Interestingly, even though the palace is in Tamil Nadu, it is owned by the Kerala Government. Locals say that outside the palace is Tamil Nadu, but stepping inside takes you into Kerala.
The Kerala Government has hired young staff trained in archaeology, which helps tourists enjoy the visit more.
Mostly made of wood, the palace has beautiful murals, carvings, relics, and black granite floors. Built over 400 years ago, it is the largest wooden palace in Asia.
We visited Padmanabhapuram Palace on a Saturday holiday and reached around 9 AM. It wasn’t very crowded, which made the visit more peaceful. The palace is truly an archaeological wonder — beautifully preserved and full of history. Definitely a must-visit at least once!
It’s easily accessible from Trivandrum, and there’s plenty of space for car parking, so no worries there. However, there aren’t many good restaurants nearby, so it’s better to plan your food in advance. Overall, a great experience for history and architecture lovers
It’s a big palace and easily takes 2+ hrs to cover. However, it would be difficult for elders to climb the stairs in this palace. There are too many and are steep. Would be good if they instruct this while issuing the ticket. Paid restrooms are here for 5₹ per head but could be maintained better. We went on a Saturday and lot of schools are bringing children to this place as a day trip.
Supposedly Asia’s largest wooden palace from the Travencore era.
The palace is situated in Tamil Nadu, but still owned and maintained by the archeological department of Kerala, even after the reorganization of Kanyakumari district from Kerala to Tamil Nadu.
It’s is well preserved, painting of artworks and maintenance done as needed.
The palace is sprawling and displays Kerala style architecture.
Good to visit!
Caution: foot wear isn’t allowed inside the palace, walking around barefoot in the hot sun may burn feet 👣 🙂.
Good to visit during early hours of the day, as crowd starts to swell past 11 AM.
Palace of Travancore dynasty which is now maintained by Kerala government. Well maintained. Parking fee of Rs. 10 for 2 wheelers and 50 for 4 wheelers are collected by local people. Ticket charges cost 50+ 10 rupees for Mobile camera. Photography is permitted but videography is not allowed. You'll get to see intricately carved sculptures and ceilings. Only 2 out of 4 storeys are accessible for visitors. The original mural paintings and Marthanda Varma's sword are all kept there, which is not permitted to see.
Canteen was fine. The pay and use toilet in the compound was of very poor condition.
I really loved this palace! To explore the entire palace and museum properly, you’ll need at least an hour. There’s so much to see and discover — don’t miss the museum, it’s worth it! The palace is managed by the Kerala government, and I appreciated that photography is allowed everywhere.
The only downside was the parking situation. There’s no official parking area, so you’ll have to park along the roadside and pay ₹50 to local people — not to the palace authorities.

Mathoor Aqueduct, also known as the Mathoor Hanging Trough, is a remarkable elevated concrete bridge built by Kamaraj for carrying water across the landscape. The aqueduct offers a stunning 1.5-kilometer walkway with breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and river below. Visitors can enjoy a sense of adventure while marveling at the natural water flow over rocks and even take a dip in the river.
Mathoor Aqueduct is truly an engineering marvel and a must-visit spot in Kanyakumari district. The tall structure built across the hills offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding green valleys and flowing rivers. Walking across the aqueduct feels exciting and a little adventurous as you get to enjoy the cool breeze and scenic beauty all around.

It is not only a sightseeing destination but also a place where you can admire the blend of nature and human creation. A peaceful and memorable experience for travelers.
Ganesan B — Google review
Built in 1960s, to make water flow from a hill top to adjacent hill top - viaduct. The beauty is a gushing river flowing in below valley across under the viaduct,
Holds a record as the tallest and longest in Asia when commissioned in 1969.
Stunning views
Will be thrilling once you walk on the bridge from one end to other end -as well very scenic to see the surroundings from that height. The wind also will be strong while walking at that height From the end one can get down through the stairs and see the beauty from below and astonish the height of way you walked a while ago.
People with acrophobia may ensure precautions
The bridge would be nearly 1 KM long and 115 ft high
It's a unique tourist spot which allows you to walk the length of the water channel and have a mesmerizing view of the greens around. Long weekend traffic and people can get very high in numbers so plan accordingly. If you get down on the other side then the way back up has lots of steps so be mindful of that. There's a small pond below where you can get in and have bath or fun in the water but that too can get crowded. Lots of small shops selling tea/coffee and fruits are there. The humidity is unbearable so wear a wet bandana around your neck and extremely light t shirts or tops/bottoms.
Mathoor Aqueduct is a scenic and peaceful spot with breathtaking views of the river and surrounding landscape. Walking along the aqueduct is a unique experience, perfect for photography. We also bought some fresh pineapples nearby they were sweet and delicious!
Basic facilities like toilets and seating areas could be improved, and parking is limited. Overall, a great place for nature lovers and a relaxing visit.
Constructed as a drought relief mechanism for water to flow from one hill to the another.
Can walk through the entire stretch on the top of the aqueduct, has stunning view of hills on both sides and a deep view of a river flowing below.
The probable best time to visit is early morning or after 4PM, around sunrise or sunset could have the best sky colors. Other times during the day could be exhausting; scorching heat 🥵 and pouring sweat 😓
This is one of the engineering wonders in Tamilnadu. But when we went there, it was under maintenance and were asked to get down, go around and then climb the bridge again to see the aqueduct. Would be difficult for elders to do it. And on the other side, it could be maintained better as there were lot of garbage around. Nevertheless, Beautiful place.
Mathur Aqueduct is one of the longest aqueduct in Asia and in TN. Once you walk and reach centre of duct, one can see vast expanse of greenery, with rolling hills of the Western Ghats in the background, along with meandering river flowing below. The view is ecstatic during sunset. Only issue is bit problem of connectivity....

Vattakottai Fort, also known as the 'Circular Fort', is a well-preserved 18th-century seaside fort located near Kanyakumari, India's southernmost tip. Constructed mainly from granite blocks, the fort extends into the sea and offers sweeping beach views. The site features lush green lawns and well-maintained structures, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely evening walk or family outing.
It's a Beautiful place to visit near Kanyakumari. We took reserved auto(no share auto). It took rs. 600/- pick and drop(including 1hr waiting as per auto driver version) from the main chawk area near Gandhi mandapam. You can also have bus, but it won't come upto the fort. It will drop you at the chawraha near the fort and you have to take auto at rs.100/- from there. You can also walk upto fort entrance which is not too far. Probably it will take 10-15mints walk from the drop of the the bus.
Do keep water bottle and umbrella, sunglasses are the must . You do have to pay for tickets . The ticket counter is at the parking area( left side of yours when you will get down from the reserved vehicle) . Personally I don't find the way to go to the vattakotai beach which is known black sand-beach. Overall it's a beautiful place.

A small but beautiful fort with fantastic sea views. A very peaceful place to spend an hour. Great for a quick visit if you're in the Kanyakumari area. Parking was easy and the entry fee is minimal. This historical fort is a must-visit if you are interested in the region's past. Maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), it's in good condition and you can really get a sense of its coastal defense purpose. It's a peaceful and well-kept site that offers both a glimpse into history and a tranquil natural setting. It's over 2 km inside from main road.
Vattakottai Fort near Kanyakumari is a hidden gem! This well-preserved fort offers stunning views of the sea and surrounding hills.

With affordable ticket prices (₹25 per person) and parking (₹40), it's a must-visit.
Tip: Visit in the morning or evening to avoid the heat. Having a guide or informative signage would enhance the experience.
Don't miss this iconic place if visiting to kanyakumari. The fort opens at 9AM. But best time to visit would be in the evening. Entry fee is 25 Rupees. It's an very old fort and also an archaeological survey of India. Rate combination of of fort and Indian Ocean is a rare site to witness. Other than that nothing much to see . Good place for photosession.

1. 🌆 Nice place to watch sunset near the sea
2. 🌅 Sunset today around 6:35 PM
3. 🌊 You can see sea waves clearly
4. 💨 Wind was strong during sunset time
5. 👨👩👧👦 Many people come with family and friends
6. 🕒 Better to reach by 5:45 PM
7. 🚶 It's not easy to walk around 2 km from Triveni Sangam
8. 🛺 Auto or bus is better option to reach here
Location: It is close to the Triveni Sangam (confluence point) and the Vivekananda Rock Memorial area, easily accessible from the main town.
• Experience: Visitors gather here every evening to witness the breathtaking sunset, where the sun appears to sink into the horizon, painting the sky with shades of orange, pink, purple, and gold.
• Special Features: On clear days, you can even spot the silhouette of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Thiruvalluvar Statue against the colorful sky, making it a perfect spot for photography.
• Best Time to Visit: October to March offers the clearest skies, though sunsets are spectacular throughout the year.
• Cultural Vibe: The place often has a lively yet peaceful vibe, with locals and tourists enjoying the cool breeze, the sound of crashing waves, and the serenity of the ocean view.
One of the best sunset view i have seen recently viewed, very neat and clean place with an entry feel of 50 been charged legal or illegal no idea.
Beautiful evening view of the ocean .
Little crowded during the weekends..
Sunset Point in Kanyakumari is where the sky meets the soul—an unforgettable spectacle of nature’s poetry painted in hues of gold, crimson, and violet.
Nestled at the southernmost tip of India, Sunset Point in Kanyakumari offers a rare and mesmerizing view where the sun dips into the confluence of three majestic water bodies—the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean. This unique geographical marvel transforms every sunset into a celestial performance, with the horizon ablaze in color and the waves whispering stories of the day’s end.
Watching the sunset at Kanyakumari was one of the most beautiful and peaceful moments of my trip. It’s truly special to stand at the southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean meet — and see the sun slowly sink into the horizon. The sky changes colors every few minutes — from golden orange to pink and deep purple — and it feels like nature’s own painting.
The atmosphere is calm yet filled with quiet excitement as people gather to watch. You can hear the sound of waves, the sea breeze on your face, and for a few moments, everything feels still. It’s one of those rare places where you just stand and feel grateful.
It can get a little crowded during peak hours, so it’s best to reach early and find a good spot near the shore. The area is clean and well-maintained, and there are small stalls around selling snacks and tea — perfect for enjoying while you wait for the sunset.
Even though I’ve seen many sunsets, the one at Kanyakumari felt different — maybe because it’s where the three seas meet, or maybe because there’s something truly magical about this place. Either way, it’s an experience you shouldn’t miss.
A beautiful spot to end your day in Kanyakumari! The sun setting over the horizon, casting golden-orange hues across the sea, is truly mesmerizing. It’s peaceful, scenic, and perfect for photography or just soaking in the view.
Best time to visit is around 5:30–6:30 PM. Arrive a bit early to grab a good spot and enjoy the vibrant sky before the sun dips. Don’t miss it — it’s the perfect way to end your Kanyakumari trip! 🌊✨
Good place to visit. Need to walk 100-200 meters from parking. There are rocks were you can sit and view and photograph. Shops are present for snacks and gift items.

Mayapuri Wonder Wax is a unique museum located within the Baywatch water park, offering an enjoyable indoor activity for individuals and families. The museum showcases lifelike wax figures of both Indian and international celebrities, including Albert Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, Rabindranath Tagore, Michael Jackson, and Mother Teresa. Additionally, visitors can admire a variety of interesting three-dimensional paintings within the museum.
We had an amazing time. The wax figures were incredibly lifelike and detailed, making it feel like I was stepping into a real-life scene. The exhibits were well-curated, showcasing a range of famous personalities and characters. I loved the interactive elements and photo opportunities at 3D painting. The staffs were friendly and helpful. A fun and fascinating experience for all ages

This place is worth visiting. The wax statues are incredibly lifelike, especially the one of Vijay. The ticket price is very affordable, which is a nice bonus. Children will have a wonderful time here. I highly recommend it.
A Memorable Family Visit to the Wax Museum!!
We recently visited the wax museum with our family, and it turned out to be a delightful experience for everyone. The exhibits were engaging, and the staff truly made the visit special. They were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to assist us, especially while taking photos with the 3D installations. Their hospitality added a personal touch that made the outing even more enjoyable.
📸 Photo & Video Add-ons
- For those looking to capture dynamic memories, there's a 360° rotatable photo stand available at an extra cost of Rs.100—well worth it for a fun video keepsake.
- You can also choose themed backgrounds like mountains, flowers, or Disney characters for your photos at Rs.60 extra, which adds a creative flair to your snapshots.
🎥 A Note to the Owner
While the overall experience was fantastic, we’d like to share a small suggestion regarding the 9D Theatre and VR section. Currently, the content leans heavily towards horror themes. While this may appeal to some adults, it can be unsettling for children. We recommend considering adventure or fantasy-based videos instead, which would be more family-friendly and still immersive. This small change could make the museum even more inclusive and enjoyable for all age groups.
Overall, it was a fun-filled and memorable outing. Highly recommended for families looking for an engaging indoor experience!
Visited today afternoon. entry fee for wax museum and 3D paiting is 120/ head. Mayapuri Wonder Wax Museum in Kanniyakumari boasts of lifelike wax sculptures that celebrate India's rich cultural history while paying homage to influential personalities. Located within the Baywatch amusement park . This charming museum promises excitement for every visitor. Children, in particular, will be captivated as they come face-to-face with their beloved stars. 1 hour is sufficient to rome around as area small. 3d painting concept is marvelous. Not watched 9d movie.
The VR experience was quite good. It costs ₹400 per adult, and it's free for children under 5. The 9D experience was especially immersive and left a strong impression on visitors.
The wax museum was average, but the 3D art room was enjoyable the staff there was helpful and even assisted in taking photos.
It was actually empty on a weekday afternoon but the staff are well organized
But costly with limited wax statue. One can take photos with all statues. There is a 3d photo section which comes with ticket where staff will help to take photo will be good. Also there is pay and use 3d animation movie and background changa photo frames addition to the entry ticket. Nearby railway station.We can spend 1-2 hours.
An average wax museum with 9d video show, car dash racing with pvr adventure show
The worst part is it's 120 for just a 5mins experience which should be 30-50s at max
The wax museum is okaish.. they tried to make it perfect but amitabh bachan and shahruk are far than real!
I felt they have huge margins which are massed on to the tour and travels to get people onboarded! Like who will pay 500 pp for half an hour experience in total 4 shows
It was a really wonderful experience. All the wax statues were amazing and gave us a feel of seeing those legends in person. We, especially kids, really enjoyed other activities like dashing car, VR, 3D gallery, 360°camera etc. The drawback was the lack of maintenance, that's why giving 4 stars.

Mohamed F — Google review
I came for the good reviews on TripAdvisor and Google Maps, but in the end I was totally disappointed when the fries arrive they were cold like they’ve been sat on the side for 10-20 mins.
The Shahwarma meat was tasty and crispy, but it had more stone cold stale fries on it and I found a number of hairs inside it which was quite disgusting.
I expressed how I was unhappy to the staff, but I didn’t really feel heard and they were trying to tell me that everything was good and fine, and it was cold because of the air-conditioning 😅!!. They reheated my fries, but they just cooked the same stale fries again and gave them back to me overcooked and dripping in oil.
We tried the masala chicken with naan and roti—and absolutely loved it! 🍗🥘 The flavors were rich and satisfying. While the prices were a bit on the higher side (surprisingly, naan and roti cost more than the chicken!), the taste made it worth it. If you're okay with spending a little extra for good food, this place won’t disappoint. Great spot for a flavorful meal with friends or family!
Disappointed with the taste, despite seeing all the positive reviews. Had Thandoori chicken and chicken tikka. Service was good.
My friends from kerala came to visit Kanyakumari and I tagged along. They asked me where can we have lunch... all I thought of was zam zam restaurant. I saw lot of promotional videos and thought this would be a good place to dine in for lunch.
Entered happily and left with disappointment.
Their menu looks like a magazine but half of the dishes they say not available .
Mandhi is available only on weekends..
Biryani was below average. It was just the normal tamilnadu style biryani served with raita, brinjal curry and bread halwa. Nothing great.
Tandoori was just ok.
Why all the overhyped promotions just for an average food?
When you invite vloggers for promotions don't you know to give details about mandhi will be available on weekend.
Best biryani in Kanyakumari.. what a joke..
Service was slow. We need to call the servers again and remind them about our orders, else they just go away leaving us unheard.
Totally a disappointment. Only the bread Halwa was good in what I had in zamzam.
One of the best non veg restaurants in Kanyakumari. They have AC dining for 30 plus people. Most of the seats are family sized so couples will find it difficult to get a seat especially during peak hours. They is a long waiting line during holidays.
We ordered Chicken Shawayya (Rotisserie Chicken), Paneer butter masala, Kerala Porotta, Chappathy, Mint lime and Watermelon juice. The food was great.
There are also vegetarian options. The pricing is decent compared to nearby 'Saravana Bhavan'.
They accept cash, card and UPI.
We group of 8 people family had lunch at ZamZam. We ordered Dragon chicken, Chettinad chicken, beef curry, chicken lollipop, gee rice, thantoori roti, naan, veg salad. Food is very tasty. Definitely recommended for family. Ice creams and juices all really very tasty.
Only issue is no parking for cars. We parked in the roadside.
Good biryani and nice atmosphere, but please teach your workers how to handle food properly. I noticed that while serving the biryani pot, their fingers were touching the food. It’s quite unpleasant. These are basic hygiene and civic sense practices.

Very nice accommodation provided by Gujarati Community at excellent location. 24 hours check in and out.
Only 2 drawbacks.
Uncertainty on availability as you can book offline only when you reach there.
Reception guy don't give rooms even they are vacant. Had detailed conversation than he gave room.
Best place to stay for Gujaratis. I stayed here with Family in September 2024. 2 Beds and 3 Beds AC nonAC Rooms and Dormitory space available. (Room Rates from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000) Mineral water of R.O. plant is available. Manager is very co-operative. Best thing about this place - Gujarati Thali is available here. Charges are very reasonable. Rs. 110. Tea and Coffees are very nice. Breakfast available in the morning. Undoubtedly best place to stay in Kanyakumari.
Our 12 and 13th day of Ahmedabad to Kanyakumari Bike Tour we stayed hear. 24 hour check in, Room is big but maintenance is questionable. Being a Gujarati it is home away home.
Better than Hotel...Food is awsome...
Pure authentic Gujrati food is available for lunch and dinner options. Would highly recommend it. They also have rooms and dormitories for stay purposes at reasonable cost.
I found this Gujarati Samaj the best among some South Indian Gujarati Samaj...Since I am on South India tour for 10 days I had been to Chennai Gujarati Samaj, Madurai Gujarati Samaj, Rameshwar Gujarati Samaj... I found this Gujarati Samaj the best.... location wise it is 0.5 kms ( 500 meter- half kilometer)from bus depot and 2 kms from railway station. The sun set point is also near by..
This Gujarati Samaj is very clean in comparison to others.. Staff is also good...( Staff at Rameshwar is also good)
Bhojanshala is also here.
The room available for visiter with very reasonable rate. Bhavan having ac and non ac room available. They have ample parking with road touch transportation facility for full day. Vivekanand hill memorial nearly one km.

Sree Aditti Bhavan is a popular dining spot in Kanyakumari, known for its fantastic and tasty food. Situated conveniently on the main road highways, it offers ample parking space. While some visitors have noted that the servers can be unattentive, others have praised the South Indian meals and the excellent staff behavior. The restaurant also provides clean washrooms, making it a comfortable dining experience for all guests.
We stopped here during our journey to Kanyakumari. The place offers both open-air and indoor dining spaces.Very spacious esp the outdoor space!
The food was decent and suitable for travelers — we tried the masala dosa, double omelette, and coffee, which were all fine.
What truly stood out was the cleanliness of the place, especially the well-maintained toilets — a big relief during long road trips.
The surroundings were neat, and there was plenty of parking space, making it a convenient stop.
Customer service, however, was average and quite slow, needs improvement.
Overall, it’s a good option if cleanliness and parking convenience are your priorities.

Stopped here during our journey along the Kanyakumari-Madurai highway. The food was okay – nothing special but decent for travelers. The highlight of this place is its cleanliness, especially the well-maintained toilets, which are a big relief during long trips. The atmosphere was clean, and there’s ample parking space, making it a convenient stop.
However, there were a few letdowns. The air-conditioner was present but not turned on, which made the dining experience a bit uncomfortable, especially in the heat. Customer service was average and could definitely use some improvement.
A decent place if you prioritize cleanliness and parking,
The food was great and full of flabpur... The waiters there were extremely friendly and helpful.. Definitely recommend this restaurant
The usp of the hotel is you will see the ads across show casing the clean toilets.
Yes and it does work as Kanyakumari seems to be lacking clean toilet facilities.
So this is a win for the hotel and that is what attracts people to visit the place.
The food and service is also decent.
The restaurant has a good mix of cuisine.
It blends well with the local cuisine and North Indian cuisine as well.
They have a great coffee place as well for folks who need a good coffee break.
The restaurant is abuzz during the lunch time.
It is away from the main Kanyakumari area.
So best to plan a little ahead of you want to hit the place for lunch or dinner.
It is on the highway road with a little drive to reach the place as depending on the route taken you might have to drive across to cut through the median in the highway to reach the place.
It is one of the good restaurant in Kanyakumari which is on the way to suchindram. Restaurant offers veg and non veg varieties. Staffs are courteous and service is good. Taste wise it is found to be okay. We tried only veg food. Parking is available. Considerable.
We had excellent lunch from this hotel. Thought wasrush hour we got the food without any super and the biriyani which we had was tasty and will cooked
Wanted to give a big ZERO rating
Came as a family to have lunch:
1. Provided one glass(tumbler) per table
2. Chicken Briyani we ordered, and they didn't provided any raita or gravy for that
2. Worst biriyani served(spoiled one) and no replacement provided on complaints
3. For unlimited meals, no white rice provided after second serve
4. White rice not cooked properly
5. Rude behaviour of staffs and severing staffs quarrel with customer mentioning customer is drunken
Please don't make choice of having food here worst ever experience with this restaurant
Easy access from High way. Waiting time is there during lunch hours. They manage the crowd in pleasent manner.

Day 3
West side of town
For day 3, we recommend exploring the west side side of town. Start the day off with Kanyakumari Beach, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Thiruvalluvar Statue. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Kanyakumari Beach, situated at the southernmost tip of the Indian Peninsula, offers breathtaking views of sunsets and moonrises over the confluence of three seas: the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, and Arabian Sea. The rocky shoreline provides a picturesque setting for leisurely strolls while listening to the unique sound of waves. Visitors can savor local cuisine and explore nearby temples. It is best to visit during December and January to avoid extreme heat and humidity.
We had a memorable visit to Kanyakumari with my family during my annual vacation. It’s truly a place where nature’s beauty meets cultural richness. Watching the sunrise at the southern tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean meet, was an unforgettable moment. The crowd had already gathered early in the morning, and everyone waited eagerly for that first golden ray to appear. The sight of the rising sun reflecting on the ocean waves was simply breathtaking.
After the sunrise, we spent time exploring the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Thiruvalluvar Statue, both of which stand proudly in the middle of the sea. The short ferry ride added to the excitement, giving us a closer view of these iconic landmarks. Later, we walked around the beach area, visited a few temples, and enjoyed the sea breeze while shopping for beautiful seashell crafts and souvenirs from the local stalls.
We also tried some Kanyakumari special dishes — especially the seafood varieties — which were fresh, spicy, and full of local flavors.
However, one disappointing part of the trip was our experience with some photographers near the beach. They approached us offering photo packages, promising quick editing and special backgrounds. But after collecting the payment, things didn’t go as expected. Once the editing was done, someone else handed over our photos, not the person who took them, and the results were far from what was promised. It felt like a bit of cheating and mismanagement, which spoiled an otherwise joyful moment.
Despite that issue, the trip overall was amazing — full of scenic beauty, cultural experiences, and family memories that we’ll always cherish. Kanyakumari truly remains one of the most peaceful and inspiring destinations in India.

Clean neat place. Beautiful beaches. Beautiful sunset and sunrise. Heat is high. Good place to take your kids. Just keep them hydrated. We visited in rains still very hot
We watched the sunrise at Kanyakumari today at 6:07 AM, and it was absolutely breathtaking! 🌅
The sky slowly changed colors, and the view where the sea meets the sun was magical. A peaceful and unforgettable experience — a must-see moment in Kanyakumari! 🌊✨
Breathtaking Views and Peaceful Vibes!
Kanyakumari Beach is truly a magical place where you can witness the meeting of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean. The sunrise and sunset views are absolutely stunning and worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime. The beach area is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of spots to relax and enjoy the view. You can also visit nearby attractions like the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar Statue. A must-visit destination for nature lovers and travelers visiting the southern tip of India!
Had a great time at Kanyakumari Beach! 🌊 It’s such a beautiful place, but I really hope the government takes better care of it and improves tourism facilities — this place deserves more visitors! 💙
Visiting Kanyakumari Beach is an experience like no other. The beach stretches along the southernmost tip of India, where the Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean meet. The shoreline is unique — a mix of sand and rocks, giving it a raw, untouched charm. Walking along the beach while listening to the waves crash against the rocks is incredibly calming 🌬️🌊.
The beach is perfect for watching both sunrise and sunset 🌞🌇. Sunrise over the Bay of Bengal is magical, and sunset views are equally stunning. There are small local stalls nearby selling snacks and souvenirs 🐚🍴, but the beach itself feels peaceful and not overcrowded most of the time.
It’s not ideal for swimming 🚫🏊, but excellent for photography 📸, quiet reflection, or simply enjoying the natural beauty. Kanyakumari Beach is a must-visit for anyone traveling to the southern tip of India — a place where nature feels endless and awe-inspiring. 💙
Kanyakumari Beach is a unique spot where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean meet.
The view of the waves merging together is truly mesmerizing and unforgettable.
It’s a perfect place to enjoy both sunrise and sunset over the horizon.
The beach is clean, lively, and surrounded by historic monuments and shops.
A must-visit destination for anyone exploring the beauty and culture of South India.
Kanyakumari Beach offers a breathtaking view where the Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean meet. The sunrise and sunset here are magical, especially from the View Tower and near the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. The beach is rocky, not ideal for swimming, but perfect for peaceful walks, photography, and soaking in the spiritual and scenic atmosphere.

Kanyakumari Pier

(3734)
Kanyakumari Pier is a popular tourist spot made from large stones, extending almost 500 meters into the sea. It offers stunning views of the ocean and is particularly known for its picturesque sunrise vistas. This man-made extension provides visitors with a unique opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Kanyakumari and observe sweeping sea views. While there is no entry fee, it's important to be cautious while walking on the pier due to gaps between the rocks.
Kanyakumari Pier is a breathtaking spot where you can truly experience the beauty of the southernmost tip of India. The vast ocean stretching endlessly, with waves crashing against the pier, creates a mesmerizing view. It’s a great place to take a peaceful walk, enjoy the sea breeze, and soak in the panoramic sights.
Sunrise and sunset here are absolutely magical, with the sky painted in vibrant hues. You can also see fishing boats in the distance, adding to the charm of the place. The pier is not very crowded, making it a perfect spot for photography and quiet reflection.
If you’re visiting Kanyakumari, this place is a must-visit for its serene and scenic vibe!

Sunrise Point in Kanyakumari offers a breathtaking view of the sun rising over the confluence of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. To fully enjoy this serene experience, it's advisable to arrive early, as the area tends to get crowded with visitors eager to witness the first light of day. The sight of the sun illuminating landmarks like the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Thiruvalluvar Statue adds to the charm of the moment. Despite the early hour, the peaceful ambiance and stunning visuals make it a must-visit spot in Kanyakumari.
Amazing view, the sunrise is good and mesmerizing, view point is inside the see. You can walk to the view point. Wakeup in the morning stayed near to the view point, walkable distance from the hotel. Went around 5.30 am morning. No waiting, we can go to the last point waited for the sun to rise. It will take around 30 to 60 minutes wait. Depends on the wether. If wether is clear you can see the beautiful view of sunrise.
If this review is helpful to you , you can like this review. Thank you.
It feels very awesome to know that you are standing at the very end of India on the map.
It's really a great feeling. The view is good, and you can also trip on the nearby island with big statue of wisdom and temples.
One can view the best sunset and sunrise in India from this view point. In seasons times, it becomes abit crowded as every tourist want to experience the sun set and rise.
Must visit for people going to Kanya Kumari.
Standing at the edge of the pier, you can see the vast endless ocean, making it a surreal experience.
Unlike the main tourist spots, the pier is relatively calm, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy nature.
One should be careful of the strong wind, especially near the edges of the pier. The breeze is refreshing, but at times, it can be quite powerful, making it important to hold onto your belongings and stay cautious while enjoying the breathtaking views
Excellent for photography lovers. Fantastic view of Vivekananda Rock memorial and Kanyakumari township. Great place for evening walk. It is safe but should avoid during High winds.
This sunrise view point of kanyakumari is magnificent. You can see mesmerising view of rising sun along with sea bay of Bengal. You can sit on the rocks and enjoy the sunrise. I will suggest you to go little far in this path than you can enjoy a good sunrise with a good and awesome pictures at the end
Undoubtedly the best place to see the sunrise in Kanyakumari. Visited here with the friends and the experience was beyond the expectations. Too many people will visit in the morning so try to reach out early. You can see the beautiful vivekananda memorial from here. Please see the weather forecast and then only visit because cloudy mornings can spoil your experience.
Note: It's too hot in Kanyakumari on normal days so please make the arrangements accordingly because skin burn will occur.

Kanyakumari Shri Tirupathi Temple is a moderately big and well-maintained temple that offers a peaceful spot to pay respects to Lord Venkateswarar. The temple is not crowded, and there's no entry fee required. Visitors can capture stunning photos of the shrine, especially in broad daylight when the roof appears golden.
This temple in Kanyakumari is very nice and calm—a truly peaceful place to visit. The darshan experience is pleasant and uplifting, and I felt very happy during my time here. If visiting Kanyakumari, this is a must-see spot; words cannot fully describe the feeling of being here. The view from outside the mandir is beautiful, with scenic vistas of the sea and landmarks like Vivekananda Rock. The best time to visit is morning or evening, when the atmosphere is most serene.

Visiting the Shri Tirupati Temple in Kanyakumari was a peaceful and uplifting experience. The temple is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara and offers the same divine atmosphere as the famous Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh, but in a more serene, less crowded setting.
The architecture of the temple is beautiful — traditional South Indian style with finely carved pillars, a majestic gopuram, and detailed sculptures that reflect devotion and craftsmanship. The entire complex is clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by lush greenery, which adds to the calm and sacred feeling of the place.
What I loved most was the quiet and orderly atmosphere. The priests and temple staff are polite and guide devotees with respect. The darshan was peaceful — no rush, no pushing crowds — allowing me to truly take in the spiritual energy of the shrine. The deity of Lord Venkateswara here is beautifully adorned and radiates such a powerful, serene presence.

Visited today. Gandhi Mandapam dedicated to Mahatma Gandh. Informative displays about Gandhi’s life.Offers stunning sea views, perfect for photography.
₹5 for keeping chapals but no entry fee. The outside is not so clean,.
Mahatma Gandhi Mandapam is a beautiful tribute to the life and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi. The exhibits here offer an insightful glimpse into his journey, struggles, and his role in India's freedom movement. Entry is free, but there's a small charge of ₹5 to watch the shows, which are definitely worth it.
It takes around 30 minutes to fully explore, making it a perfect short visit. The space is well-maintained
Actually it was accidently we visited here because of delay in boat service to Vivekanandana Rock. Due to the delay in time of boat service, we decide to go here. It was great experience here, Good peaceful atmosphere here. We can experience Great views of Vivekandana Rock and sea from the top of the building. We have taken many of great photos of kanyakumari sea from this spot. There is also a park facilities for children. Better to go on morning time before the heavy sunlight, because the park is on open space. It is not partically possible for children to enjoy their rides on park on extremely hot climate conditions. Must go there you won't regret it. Also there is many photo frames inside, that shows about our Mahatma Gandhi ji 😍.
Visited the Mahatma Gandhi Mandapam in Kanyakumari and it was truly a peaceful experience. The architecture is unique, built so that sunlight falls exactly on the spot where Gandhi’s ashes were kept before immersion. The atmosphere inside feels calm, almost sacred, and the view of the sea outside adds to the beauty. A must-visit place for history lovers and anyone seeking a quiet moment of reflection.

A peaceful tribute to the Father of the Nation
The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (Gandhi Mandapam) in Kanniyakumari is one of the most serene and thoughtfully designed landmarks in India. Nestled right by the seashore, this memorial beautifully captures the essence of Gandhiji’s life — simplicity, peace, and purpose.
Built at the very spot where one of the urns containing Gandhi’s ashes was kept before immersion, the memorial is not just an architectural wonder but a sacred reminder of India’s greatest son. The central pink structure stands 79 feet tall, representing the Mahatma’s age at the time of his passing. Designed in the Orissan architectural style, the building is ingeniously constructed so that on October 2nd, Gandhi’s birthday, the sun’s rays fall exactly on the spot where his ashes were placed — a truly remarkable alignment that symbolizes eternal light and remembrance.
Inside, you’ll find photographs, writings, and depictions of key moments from Gandhi’s life and India’s freedom struggle — offering both inspiration and insight. Despite being close to the bustling tourist areas of Kanniyakumari, the memorial itself feels calm and meditative, with the gentle sound of the waves enhancing its tranquil atmosphere.
📍 Tip: Visit around sunrise or sunset for a breathtaking view of the sea behind the memorial — the soft light makes the entire place glow. It’s also just a short walk from other major attractions like Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar Statue, making it easy to include in your Kanyakumari itinerary.
A must-visit for anyone who wants to feel the quiet strength and simplicity that defined Mahatma Gandhi’s life.

A statue of Mother Mary was created in the 16th century derived in Rome. The statue, clad with a sari, was placed in the centre of a golden altar . Statues of St. Joseph and St. Francis Xavier were placed in the right side and left side respectively
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – A serene and spiritual experience!
The Shrine of Our Lady of Ransom in Kanyakumari is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. The church has a calm and spiritual atmosphere, making it perfect for prayer and reflection. The architecture is simple yet elegant, and the surroundings are well-maintained. It’s a great spot to experience the local culture and devotion.
The location is easily accessible and offers a sense of tranquility away from the busy tourist areas. Definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring Kanyakumari and want to take some time for peace and prayer.
Our Lady of Ransom Church in Kanyakumari is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and deep faith. Built in the early 1900s, it stands majestically by the sea with its tall white spires and intricate stained glass. The church’s rich history traces back to St. Francis Xavier’s visit in 1542, blending European style with Tamil devotion. Its peaceful atmosphere, golden chariot procession during the annual feast, and symbolic design make it both a spiritual and architectural treasure. A must-visit for anyone exploring the southern tip of India.
I recently visited the Shine of Our Lady Church in Kanyakumari, and honestly, it felt like one of the calmest and most peaceful spots in the area. The church is not very flashy from the outside, but the moment you step in, the atmosphere changes completely. It has that quiet, soothing vibe where you just feel like sitting for a while without rushing anywhere.
The interior is simple yet very graceful. The altar looks beautiful, and the whole place gives you a sense of comfort. What I liked the most was how open and airy it felt, with the sunlight coming through the windows and giving it a warm glow. I saw both locals and travelers spending time in prayer, and no one was in a hurry. It’s the kind of place where you can just pause and feel at peace.
The location is also great because it’s close to the sea, so you can hear the waves faintly in the background if you step outside. After visiting the crowded tourist spots in Kanyakumari, coming here was a refreshing break. It doesn’t feel commercial or overrun with people, which I really appreciated.
If you’re visiting Kanyakumari, I’d say don’t skip this church. Whether you’re religious or not, it’s worth a visit just for the calmness it brings. Sometimes you don’t need big attractions—just a quiet corner like this is enough to make the trip memorable.
This was located near to the railway station, if you're capable to walk them please proceed by walk, for auto service they would charge upto 50-80₹ / head

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Thiruvalluvar Statue is a monumental 40-meter-high statue and pedestal located on a small island near the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari. It is dedicated to the eminent Tamil poet and philosopher, Saint Thiruvalluvar, who composed 1330 profound seven-worded couplets known as Thirukkural. This work emphasizes virtues such as duty, kindness, wealth, charity, gratitude, and love for all classes of people in society.
The Thiruvalluvar Statue in Kanyakumari is one of the most iconic monuments in Tamil Nadu, standing majestically at the southern tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean converge. This massive stone structure is dedicated to the celebrated Tamil poet and philosopher Thiruvalluvar, the author of the Thirukkural, an ancient work of Tamil literature that offers timeless wisdom on ethics, politics, and love.
The statue rises to a height of 133 feet, symbolizing the 133 chapters of the Thirukkural. It stands on a 38-foot pedestal known as the Mandapam, which represents the 38 chapters of virtue (Aram). Together, the pedestal and statue reach a height of 161 feet, making it one of the tallest statues in India. The structure was designed by Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati and was inaugurated on 1 January 2000 to mark the new millennium.
The monument is constructed using stone and concrete, reflecting both artistic elegance and engineering brilliance. The figure of Thiruvalluvar is portrayed in a thoughtful stance, with one hand pointing skyward, symbolizing higher ideals, and the other resting by his side, signifying practical wisdom.
Visitors reach the statue by ferry services from the mainland, which also connect to the nearby Vivekananda Rock Memorial. The location offers a breathtaking view of the vast ocean and serves as a reminder of Tamil culture’s philosophical depth.
The Thiruvalluvar Statue is not only a tribute to a legendary poet but also a cultural landmark that inspires values of morality, righteousness, and harmony.

Kanyakumari is a truly mesmerizing place where nature, history, and spirituality blend beautifully. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the ocean from the same spot is a unique and unforgettable experience. The Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar Statue are both iconic landmarks worth visiting — peaceful, inspiring, and scenic.
The confluence of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean is stunning to witness. The town is clean, the locals are warm and welcoming, and there's a calm spiritual vibe everywhere. Street food is great too, especially the fresh coconut water and local snacks.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind, explore Indian culture, or just enjoy coastal beauty. I'd definitely love to return!
The Thiruvalluvar Statue is a majestic monument honoring the great Tamil poet and philosopher Thiruvalluvar. 🗿
Standing tall beside the Vivekananda Rock, it offers a spectacular view of the sea. 🌊
The craftsmanship and architectural beauty of the statue are truly impressive. 🏛️
Visitors can enjoy the ferry ride and experience the serene surroundings. 🚤
Overall, it’s a proud symbol of Tamil culture and wisdom worth visiting. 🌅
The Thiruvalluvar Statue is a must-visit in Kanyakumari. Tall and majestic, it stands beautifully by the sea. The boat ride to reach it is exciting, and the sunrise view from there is simply unforgettable.
I visited this place on 5th October 2025. There was a big crowd, so I suggest not buying tickets online in advance — it’s better to get them directly at the spot. It’s a nice place to visit and enjoy the moment.
However, the glass floor recently installed by the government was disappointing — the quality looks quite poor and needs improvement. Hope the authorities take note and make it better.
Overall, a good experience at the Thiruvalluvar Statue, Kanyakumari — definitely worth visiting once! 🌊🌅
The 133-foot Thiruvalluvar statue, situated on a small rock at the confluence of three seas in Kanyakumari, presents a truly awe-inspiring and magnificent sight. 🤩🌊🗿 The glass bridge connecting the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Thiruvalluvar statue enhances the visitor experience, accessible via a single boat ride from the shore. 🌉🚢😊
The Thiruvalluvar Statue is an iconic landmark that adds immense beauty and pride to Kanyakumari. The boat ride to the monument is enjoyable, and standing near the massive statue gives a breathtaking view of the endless ocean all around. The craftsmanship, peaceful surroundings, and the perfect blend of history and scenic charm make this spot unforgettable. A must-visit attraction along with the Vivekananda Memorial.
Statue of Wisdom or the Statue of Thiruvalluvar is located in Kanyakumari attached to the Vivekananda Rock memorial. Public can access till the feet of the statue through internal stairs. Access is through a glass bridge that connects the mandapam (& Vivekananda Rock Museum) and the statue.

Hotel Annapoorna in Kanyakumari offers a pleasant surprise with its authentic Chinese dishes, bringing the taste of China to your plate. While it is located near the Kanyakumari temple and offers good food, there are opportunities for improvement in terms of ambience and overall taste. The hotel is known as one of the best places for a vegetarian breakfast, especially for its delicious dosa and idli.
Best place to have veg break fast. We had Dosa for my daughter. She ate full Dosa for the first time. And the manager is awesome in his reception. We asked french fries but he told no we don't have that option but other than that Dosa taste was yummy

Hotel Annapoorna located at Kanyakumari is one of the good hotels nearer to kanyakumari temple. It offers good taste. However it needs to improve alot in ambience stand point and has scope to improve in taste too. If you want to have a quick bite then only visit this hotel
*:* It's a Medium Type of Vegetarian Hotel and Servingly Average Poor Service.
*:*Also, North Indian Foods Are Available but not Great.
å...Here, Served 'Rice Meal' in 'Round Silver' Plate. Not a 'Banana Leaf'.
*:* All South Indian Foods are Idly, Dosa, Vadai, Pongal,Tea and Coffee Available here.
*:* In, Tea or Coffee Served here in Cup of Bronze Metal.
*:* Taste of Tea is Good (not Best)and Low Sugar.
Been to this place after the rock visit. Not a busy hotel but the staff is lazy enough to attend the customer. When asked for a order delivery they mock about the customer amongst themself. Very pitiful service. The food is good but overly priced.
One of best restaurant for south Indian food
Food was Good. The thing which made me angry was service. They brought the wrong food. We can ignore that if that happened only one time. Guess what our neighbouring customers experienced the same problem. We had no choice as there was no time we had to adjust. When you find a good restaurant, you expect a lot and order your favourite food and when you find that you don't get what you ordered then it makes you angry. Hope they improve in this aspect. Mistakes happen but there is a scope for improvement after all food was good. Little expensive I felt. That's why I gave 2 stars. I would have given 4. If food was not good then I would have given 1 star.
Tiffins here taste 😋 delecious and 🤤 but only problem is cost is too high for middle class people
Hotel is near to beach. Quality of food is okay but the prices are too much. Not recommended for tourist try some other street foods which will be tasty than this. There is no card 💳 payment accepted but keeping prices like 5 star hotels.

Great views from the restaurant. We stayed at the Seashore hotel which houses this restaurant - overlooking the Rock Memorial and also had breakfast buffet included. Food was decent and had a mix of south and north indian food. The room service food comes from this restaurant.

The views from the restaurant were awesome specially the sun rise view from the ocean restaurant was spectacular. We enjoyed food which was amazing for our needs. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend our family and friends when they visit kanyakumari
We had a bad experience with the staff at front office reception. Today 20.10.2025 at around 1700hrs, we visited this restaurant with family consists ofv 4 adults and a kid, by an Alto car.
Sooner we entered, three of the staff at reception, signalling among themselves with eye language and passed some adverse comments. We objected immediately and they said that, our owner used to come by this car and so we laughed. Then while going out after food at 1900 hrs, I enquired to that person (person in blue shirt) , he said that he is the manager and will take action. This said manager was also one among the three.
I expect the owner or the management are genuine and take corrective action, so that the same will not happen with other guest.
Had a variety of foods. chicken, seafood biriyani, garlic naan with crab curry. All spot on and very delicious. Worth the money. The view from the dining are is amazing!! Full view of the sea and the valluvar statue. Overall an amazing experience and excellent staff.
The food was very tasty, specially the king fish platter and the fish biriyani. The sea food was fresh and delicious. We had some issues with the French fries, it was cold, but they replaced with a fresh batch immediately without even asking. The ambience and service were impeccable. We would love to visit again if we are in Kanyakumari next.
Except the view nothing is good about this place. Their price is so expensive and the quantity of food is very less. No proper communication from staff, they blame it on management. Food was not even average. We order one piece of Kingfish and what we got was a small portion which will not be enough for a kid and the cost was 450 plus tax. Overhyped placed due to social media. I think these are paid promotions across insta or FB. Not worth really. Please think 3 times before going and blowing up your travel expenses for rusty food.
Have a really good view. Clean and good ambiance.The food served are excellent and not over priced for the service and view you get. We have visited a couple of other hotels in kanyakumari during out two day stayed and we liked here the most.
NB: if you have difficulty finding this place it's on 7th floor of hot sea shore.
The food was not up to mark. I ordered fish fry which came in half, The fish was bland like the soul of my ex, The fries tasted stale. The dish was not worth 480 Rupees.
Better try the locals than coming to this place!

Hotel Sun Park is a family-friendly accommodation conveniently located just 300 meters from Kanyakumari Railway Station. The hotel offers comfortable rooms with good amenities such as air conditioning and hot water. Guests have praised the courteous staff and the nearby restaurant. While it may not offer luxurious facilities, it provides good value for money, making it a suitable choice for budget-conscious travelers.
I had booked a family room that accommodated 4 adults and 2 children. It's definitely worth the money. Neat and clean rooms ample space. They also have a parking lot. 1km away from Kanyakumari temple.
Darshan R — Google review
I have stayed this hotel recently. I check the hotel rating and booked this hotel. Unfortunately the hotel was very unclean and the rooms are not up to the mark.
While booking they told me, have complimentary breakfast. But the breakfast was not ready till 9.00 am
They don’t have any buffet system and the hotel is very unclean.
Bathroom was not at all cleaned and will ask them to come and clean, they will not come, instead ask money to clean the room.
I am not at all recommending this hotel for stay. Still I have astonished how they got this much rating in make my trip.
Also the hotel staff make fun of their guests when requesting for any services. This is completely unacceptable under any circumstances.
I recommend to please not allow people to stay in such hotels at any cost.
Very costly with the provided amenities. No Hot water. No breakfast. Only good one is Mattress. For that proper pricing should be somewhere around Rs.1100 to 1200 . But they charged Rs. 1800 + 50 Tips = Rs. 1850. Google shows as 3 star hotel.? I have not been to 3 star hotel earlier, Not sure if this is what the real 3 star is. 🤔 It is just a normal hotel. However I give 2 star.
Clean- spacious rooms, early check in was accomodated by the receptionist reasonably charged but unable to give 10/10 because of one personnel ( the aged person especially during the night shift times always seemed to have a frown on his face. Looked absolutely constipated.
He told us that the parking space in front of the hotel was reserved for cars and we had to park the bike at the basement of the hotel. Our bike is actually more expensive than a regular hatch back car. Wonder why such step motherly attitude towards bikes. Either people should be familiar of the difference between vehicles or have a first come first serve basis rule instead adapting a blindly biased attitude is not actually hospitable especially in the hotel industry.
They charge you by providing with no clean and neat room, no house keeping service, no dental kit, not providing cushion & blanket for taking extra bed...
Moreover, they provide you at free of cost i.e. unprofessional and unethical of behaviour of staff like guests are intruder for them.
I stayed here for 2 days. The location and overall stay were average. The hotel is close to the railway station, but it’s quite far from Kanyakumari Temple and the beach—you need to book an auto to reach them, which turned out to be expensive for me. I recommend staying near the Amma Temple area so that you can walk to the sunrise point, Triveni Sangam, and Vivekananda Memorial, and save on auto charges. Another important point: there are no vegetarian hotels near this property, but you’ll find many vegetarian restaurants near the temple.
Rooms are ok but we didn’t get hot water even after wasting couple of buckets water. Checkin if you are ok to bath with cold water
Looks good only from out side, dirty bed dirty room..only positive it's on the main road

Sunset View Point in Kanyakumari is renowned for offering one of the most captivating sunset views in the world. Situated at the confluence of three water bodies, it provides a serene and tranquil atmosphere that attracts photographers and tourists from across the globe. The dedicated spot allows visitors to sit and enjoy the breathtaking sight of the sun melting into the horizon. Despite being free, this clean and spacious location can accommodate large crowds, making it an ideal place to witness nature's stunning spectacle.
Sunset at end of Indian mainland is an experience.
The view point is well maintained and ample car parking space .
Suggestions
An initial fees is collected and then you are guided to sunset view point
I will say look up sunset time, get 20 to 30 mins earlier and park before the sunset view point. You can walk from the first parking area to sunset view point in 10 to 15 mins. Parking near view point is charged additional.
Nicely maintained and lots of small shops too to try some food.

Super view point. We have played on the beach for some time and the heavy waves started so the police came and were told to come out of the beach. Beautiful experience and we took lots of pics and vids.
The location seems quite pleasant for a relaxing weekend; one can simply unwind and enjoy the atmosphere.😉😉
Myself and a group of tourists went by a bus. We have to walk 10 to 15 minutes to go near sun set view point to have a clear view of sun set. While walking towarda the sun set view point itself we can view sun set- watching sun set from the point at Kanyakumari is a pleasant experience. Ofcourse the weather also co0operated on that day.
Experienced a beautiful sunset at sunset point kanniyakumari. Sunset was so stunning with sky painted in orange and pink colour.
Stone benches also there to sit & relax and enjoy the sunset.If you go earlier that before 5.30pm to that place. You can get to sit a last bench, and it's a perfect spot to take photos.
But the place is not clean. People throw plastic bottles and papers everywhere. Government should take care of it and clear that . And should place dustbins.
It's near to the parking. So you can enjoy the sunset and get in to your car so relaxly.
The sunset view is truly mesmerizing, with the sky painted in shades of orange, pink, and gold as the sun slowly dips below the horizon. The calm surroundings and gentle breeze enhance the beauty, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Watching the sunset is a perfect moment to reflect, take photographs, or simply enjoy nature’s splendor. The changing colors of the sky, the silhouette of trees or mountains, and the serene environment make it an unforgettable experience, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who witnesses the breathtaking sight.
Very nice
Electric auto 30/- per person from gandhi mandap
First goto Kanyakumari temple, from there gandhi mandap is in walkable distance
This view point is located just 1km from Vivekanand Memorial ferry terminal. Proper arrangements are made for you to enjoy the sunset scenery. Enjoy the view at evening time.

The Mahavirswami Jain Temple Dadawadi in Kanyakumari is an ideal location for Jain and Gujarati people seeking a peaceful retreat. Situated near the sunset point, the temple offers sea-facing rooms that are clean and affordable. The temple also has facilities for Jain food and a nearby Gujarat Bhavan for families. Accessible by auto at any time, it is close to the beach, Triveni Sangam and other palaces of interest.
Nice Jain Mandir. They also have limited rooms available for stay for Jain people.. Would recommend people of Jain faith to visit this temple. Was fortunate to attend Dhwaja function, organized by Jain trust and families nearby, when I visited in mid March '24. Jain Bhojanshala is also available here.

Superb Jain temple on the edge of Kanyakumari, 25 min walk from centre. It is small, but with beautifully carved walls.
Majestic Jain temple, there is no need for any ticket. Just enter and enjoy the beauty of the temple. Made entirely of white marble with no use of iron bars ( as per Jain tradition) . Not crowded at all, visit any time of day.
Only one Jain temple in Kanyakumari.
Shwetambar temple with Bagwan Mahavir being the Mulnayak Bhagwanji along with chandaprabhu and neminath bagwanji.
Very serene experience one can get as you can see the sea in front with constant cool breeze
Also you can get accommodations and food in the dharamshala.

Additionally, the park provides excellent facilities including green rooms, bathrooms, dress stores, and dining options.
Wasted my 1450/- rupees straight. 1200/- for 2 adult ticket. 95/- rupees for tea, coffee and snacks. Tea is not even close to hot water LoL. 100/- bucks auto charge on top of that 50/- rupees for small locker wow.
They don't switch on all rides till 12.45 pm. If they switch on the water rides also like wave pool, Rain Dance and others that only 5 minutes exact. So don't be a fool by purchasing the tickets here not at all required to visit the place. Half of the dry rides not working or maintenance required.
Water rides switched on for 5 minutes. If you ask them for service they don't even bother to answer after purchasing the ticket. Don't eat inside the restaurant. The bumping car was allowed only for 3 minutes and re entry not allowed wow and 600/- is a ticket price. 9D movie was a flop for which they are charging 120/- bucks for one movie around 4-5 minutes.
Water quality was so bad me and my son got skin rashes. They are not changing and cleaning the water regularly. The best cheat part was after all this they have lunch break for their rides which was 1 pm to 2 pm.
Before entering I have requested them may I see the place first they told straight no. No one should visit this place in there dream also.

Entertaining amusement park for kids near Kanyakumari... A theme park where you can spend 3-4 hours in 15-20 rides. It's mostly not so crowded and you don't have to wait for turns for the rides. The water rides are good, especially the Family and Kids pool. Water quality is good. The Wave Pool is small but enjoyable.
A theme park in which is just 2 km away from Kanyakumar center. Price is Rs. 500/- for anyone above 137 DNS height. There are 2 slide pools, 1 kids pool and 1 wave pool. There are other activities like 9D theater, sky walk, toy train, bumper car, mystery tunnel etc. It's open from about 10 am. Water quality is not that great ... Hard water. Locker facility also available for Rs. 250 with Rs. 200 returnable. Food cost and quality average
Entertaining amusement park for kids in Kanyakumari near sunset point. Baywatch park is suitable for kids compare to other theme park like wonderla, it's just a mini water theme park. The tariff are very high comparing to service. So I am disappointed about Baywatch . In this theme park where you can spend 3-4 hours for 15-20 rides. There is not so crowded and you don't have to wait for turns for the rides. The water rides are good, especially the Family and Kids pool. Water quality is good. The Wave Pool is small but enjoyable. Scenic view is excellent from this road. A awesome sunset in Kanyakumari. One of finest place to view sun set as per the opinion of my friends. Food and street shopping also great. The place is well maintained and offers a fantastic panoramic view of the setting sun along with ocean. They could have added more rides for children. If you don't want to watch 9D cinema tell them before buying your tickets.
One of the best amusement parks in Kanyakumari to relax and enjoy for families.
Children can enjoy the rides and water games! The Park is Medium-Sized!
The entry fee is high compared to the facilities available.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, this park was closed for more than a year.
Please enquire whether it is open before visiting.
Waste of money... One of the oldest park and there is 3 water rides and 4 childrens playing like car and coffe mug only... The cost is very high and food is not complimentary... They are not allowed for outside food and snacks... Finished all rides in 1 hour.... Simply waste....
Located about 1 km from the heart of the city, baywatch is a poorly maintained water themed kids park. The entry fee is rupees 600 per adult and 500 per kids taller than 90cms height. It has 3- 4 water pools for kids that are very safe due to their depth but dirty due to poor cleanup. The water consists of tonnes of dirt and lacks attractiveness. Least crowded except when there are kids from nearby schoold visits during excursions. Lot of strees with loads of birdshit waiting for your heads and shoulders if you are sitting in tree shadow. Poor quality costumes can be bought at high quality prices for water activities. A ride in the small toy trai will test the strength of your bones. A wave pool is there mostly works like a garbage pool due to gallons of muck. Overall, an avoidable outing.
Baywatch park is suitable for kids , compare to wonder la ,it's just a mini park only. I booked ticket through book my show app. But the staffs are embarrassed and called more than 5 times to their senior officers to confirm my ticket. The tariff are very high comparing to service. So I am disappointed about Baywatch .

Kanyakumari Lighthouse
4.6
(848)
The Kanyakumari Lighthouse is a fantastic destination with an entrance fee that may be a little costly. However, the scenery it offers and the opportunity to breathe in fresh air make it worthwhile. The presence of a security guard and a shipping officer adds to the sense of safety. Although there was unfortunately an issue with the elevator during my visit, overall, it provided a pleasant experience for those seeking panoramic views of the city and its surroundings.
Excellent view of Kanyakumari.
Better than any other location. Evening is the best time.
Free toilets and water also available.
Must see location in town.

It offers extraordinary views of the beach, city, and sunset, and they appreciate the minimal entry fee and convenient lift access to the top. They also highlight the well-maintained facilities, including restrooms and drinking water, and the polite staff
1. 🗼 Tall white and red lighthouse near the beach
2. 🪜 You can climb up using lift or stairs

4. 💨 Wind was strong at the top
5. 📱 Need to hold phone tightly while taking photos
6. 💰 Entry fee ₹10 per person
7. 🕒 Open from 9 AM to 1 PM and 3 PM to 5 PM
8. 🚶 Located close to beach, easy to walk from there
Visited the Kanyakumari Lighthouse on a Sunday noon, with an entry fee of just ₹10 per person. It is a great spot to get an aerial view of the entire Kanyakumari. A lift is available to reach the top and each person is allowed a maximum of 15 minutes. Bags are not allowed but can be kept in a designated storage area. Overall, I really loved the experience.
A beautiful sceeneric view of kanyakumari can be explored from light house,Which offers a ticket cost of Rs.10/-
I don't know why it is not famous

Hotel Viswa

South Indian restaurant
Hotel Viswa offers a diverse range of meals and breakfast options, with particular praise for its soft and non-sticky idlis. The food is described as wonderful with good taste, although some items are considered to be on the pricier side. While service may be slower for single patrons, it improves for larger groups. Additionally, the hotel is recommended for morning tea and refreshments, and also provides convenience items like paste and soap.
We were searching for a vegetarian restaurant but didn't get in kanyakumari. Then we saw the evening snacks option here. Not well hygienic but very fresh. We take the tea and try every veg snack option which was so tasty. So in the evening time I recommend every vegetarian to try their snacks (please avoid some flaws 😔) you must get local authentic taste from south region of India. I am posting the picture of snacks also .
And a little request to the Shop owner that please don't allow everyone to touch the snacks for checking the freshness of food.

Slightly overpriced but the price you will be paying would be for cape road and tourist spot. I liked their tea and vadai. Go for freshly cooked items only.
I had a very bad experience. The service was poor, and there were flies inside the chutney. The tiffins were not hot at all. When I asked about it, the staff simply replied, “All our items are like that.” That’s really disappointing and unacceptable. And prices also to expensive
The food was great here, great in terms of taste and also value for money.
I must say they make very soft idly which is non-sticky, very tasty.
additional charge for cooled company drinkslike slice , pepsi .
MRP + cooloing charge 💀
Ordered Chicken mean but they server veg meal with chicken cury and charged double amount
Average place to have your meal. The curry and fry is not up to the mark. But I liked the crab and prawn offerings. Which is OK in the price bracket. Place is not up to the mark in the hygiene aspect.
Bon Appetite Chef BB
Worst place ever to have lunch, spoiled food, fish curry exceptionally worst, previous day rasam with added fish.
Recommend this hotel for spoiling health. Didn't have less than star to rate

South Indian restaurant
Breakfast restaurant
The south indian restaurant Taj Hotel serves delicious sea food with affordable prize. It is very crowded restaurant and you have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for the food. The cleanliness not properly maintained however the food is awesome.
Food- Had one of the best crab masala till now, it was just utterly-bitterly delicious. It was a cherry on the cake of my TN travel. Tried my 1st squid 65, which is recommended if you are travelling to TN
Service- Team was very prompt & friendly only issue was I got only one crab claw in my dish but the dish was so overwhelming can’t complaint more.
Atmosphere- Local restaurant serving fresh food which is near to Memorial & pocket friendly.

Atmosphere is not good, not neat & clean. The best thing about this Hotel is tasty Banana Fry....rest food are also tasty but as per cost quantity is less. Not Hygienic also Jain people avoid this place people don't understand difference between Vegetarian & Pure vegetarian (Sativik). Here more onion & garlic foods & odd atmosphere. Congested place. But if you are visiting then must try Banana fry,it's awesome.
It's a pure veg restaurant but hygiene is not so great. The staff is attentive. The owner Mr. Sayeed is polite.
We had unlimited Thali, Dosa and Idli vada set with lemon juice.
Sambhar was not great. Rest things were okay.
They must work on their hygiene as a priority.
Not hygienic but the fish tava fry was good.. but expensive.
Set of greedy folks in this hotel.
Worst service.
Taste is pale and cleanliness is awful.
There are small but very good hotels near by to go.
Just walk around.
Tea was good but breakfast items were not good.
PS: by seeing interior you can make out this place was earlier a historical building or architectural building.
Not sure if this was bought or etc.
I had one of the worst food experiences here. I ordered prawn biriyani, and to say it was a letdown would be an understatement. The biriyani clearly tasted like it was cooked a day or two before – dry, stale rice with zero aroma or flavor you’d expect from a freshly made dish. It lacked any depth or spice, and the texture was off like it had been reheated multiple times.
But the biggest concern? The prawns were not fresh at all. They had a strange, rubbery texture and a slightly off smell – a clear sign they were either old or poorly stored. I couldn’t even finish the dish out of fear of falling sick.
Food safety and freshness should be non-negotiable, especially with seafood. This was a serious letdown.
I strongly recommend avoiding this place at all costs if you value your health and your money. Definitely not worth the risk or the price.
Just fraudsters, telling fish rate 150 initially, after ordered and finish the food, in bill they make it as 180 then argue with us like you can't hear properly like that and change rates scammed by these people. Avoid this this shop.
Located near the ferry tiffins are available here we ordered for a puri and a masala dosa which cost 100 bugs . Masala dosa is very bad it is just Dow’s and allu kurma no masala in it and chutiye is very bad with lot of coconut and water I don’t prefer these hotel visiting again rest is your choice.
