Kanniyakumari Tourism
Surrounded by Majestic Hills and the plains bordered by colourful sea-shores,
fringed with coconut trees and paddy fields, here and there are few elevated
patches of red cliffs with undulating valleys and plains between the mountainous
terrain and the sea - coast, so closely interwoven with Temples and Churches
and other edifices lies the district, 'Kanyakumari'. With an area of 1672
sq.km. it occupies 1.29% of the total extent of Tamil Nadu.
Described as the southernmost end of Tamil Nadu, the land end of India or
the point where theland's three seas meet, enchanting Kanniyakumari or Cape
Comorin is one of the most popular tourist spots in the state and indeed,
in the country.
Part of the fascination is of course due to the fact that it is the very
tip of the Indian peninsula and the confluence of the Bay of Bengal, the
Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.
The other part is that the nature is so spectacular at Kanniyakumari, that
several other Indian beaches pale by comparison.
Cape Comorin is at its best during Chitra Pournami(full moon day in April)
when the sun and moon are face to face at the same horizon but other full
moon days are also special when you can see the sun set and the moon rise
almost simultaneously, as if by prior arrangement.
