Kanyakumari, India

When a large number of travellers within and outside India check out some of the most popular tourist spots like Goa, Mumbai, Delhi etc, an excursion to Kanyakumari, situated at southernmost tip of India, is also worth visiting.

Formerly called as Cape Comorin, the spectacular destination is amongst the few places of the world where both sunrise and sunset can be seen exactly from the same position. The moment you see 133 feet high stone Thiruvalluvar Statue, you have reached Kanyakumari.

What's more, the already amazing sunrise and sunset is enhanced with three bodies of water hanging out in the background - the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.

Kanyakumari is immensely popular with tourists (about 2 million people visited Kanyakumari in year 2007). Hence, if possible avoid visiting it during months the months of April through September when it’s highly crowded.
