Kanyakumari
Kanyakumari is the southernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent and is situated at the confluence of the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. It is located 87 km from the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport and is also well connected to all major cities of India by rail and road. The sunrise and sunset here are much adored for their spectacular view of the sea and sky. There are several religious pilgrimage centres like the Kumari Amman temple, the Church of Our Lady of Joy, imposing monuments and archaeological structures like the 40 m high Thiruvalluvar statue, 70 ft high Gandhi memorial, the Vivekananda rock memorial, Kamarajar Manimandapam and the Udayagiri Fort (which now has a biodiversity park). There are also other attractions like the Mathur Hanging Bridge, which is one of the largest aqueducts in Asia with a height of 115 feet and a length of one kilometre.
