About Kanyakumari

Also spelt Kanniyakumari, Kanyakumari is a tourist destination and pilgrimage centre in Tamil Nadu, South India. The claim to fame for Kanyakumari comes from the fact that this town is the southernmost point in the country. The city is located in Cape Comorin - a rocky headland on the Indian Ocean. The place is famous for its beaches, sunsets over the ocean, and temples dedicated to Shiva and Bagavathi Amman. One of the legends about the place tells the story of how the goddess Kanya Kumari (“Youthful Virgin”) killed a demon at the site of this town. Kanyakumari is the meeting point of three seas and the confluence of different cultures, ideas, and traditions. A Kanyakumari tour is one for the books!

The Allure of Kanyakumari

It’s difficult to stress just how beautiful, how enchanting, and how transcendental sunrises and sunsets are from the beaches of Kanyakumari. The Indian Ocean meets with the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea at Cape Comorin. This Triveni Sangam is the only place in the world where three seas meet one another. Bathing in this confluence is considered sacred in Hinduism. The city has great religious significance, too, attracting many travellers from across the country. The Kumari Bhagwati Amman Temple is more than 3,000 years old, worshipping a teenage goddess. Places like the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Gandhi Memorial, and the 133-foot statue of Thiruvalluvar are other top Kanyakumari tourist attractions.

History and Legends

The history of Kanyakumari dates back thousands of years. It is believed to have been a centre of trade in ancient times. Since then, it has seen the rule of various colonial powers and dynasties. The Phoenicians mention the place in their ancient records. The Cheras ruled Kanyakumari during the first millennium CE. The Cholas, Pandyas, and the Vijayanagara Empire came later. Portuguese settlers reached this place by the 16th century, followed by the Dutch and then the British colonisers in the 18th century. Ever since independence, the city has been a major tourism hub. As far as local folklore goes, it is believed that the land was terrorised by a demon, whom goddess Bhagwati defeated to relieve the pain of the locals. Another legend says that when Lord Hanuman was carrying a mountain with life-saving herbs on it, he accidentally dropped a piece of land in the ocean near the shore, which became Kanyakumari.

      Nilesh's 6 days trip to Kanyakumari

      I recently used TravelTriangle to plan my trip to Ooty, and they partnered with All India Holidays for tour management. Vishwa and Rahul from All India Holidays excelled in crafting a well-structured itinerary. Rahul's attention to detail was impressive, ensuring timely bookings (like toy train tick
      ets) and keeping me updated throughout. The hotels (Hotel Le Grand, Hotel Fairstay, Hotel Ultimate) were fantastic, and our driver, Arun Prakash, was accommodating. Although weather conditions affected some sightseeing, the overall experience was hassle-free and budget-friendly. However, I would have appreciated more proactive suggestions from the tour company on alternative activities during the bad weather. This would have further enhanced the experience. One area for improvement for TravelTriangle would be to maintain more direct involvement throughout the trip, as their role seemed limited after partnering with All India Holidays. Despite this, I totally recommend TravelTriangle and All India Holidays for their convenience and service quality.

      Vikrant's 7 days trip to Kanyakumari

      I recently booked a holiday package through Travel Triangle, and here's my experience: *Hotel:* We stayed at the Khan Gufa Hotel in Bandipur, which was generally good, but there were a few issues. The hotel provided false information about the safari, which was disappointing. Also hotel rooms are n
      ot suitable to stay. *Cab & Driver:* The cab driver sent by Lee Vacations was a 20-year-old boy who was good-natured but lacked driving skills and knowledge about the locations. Moreover, the cab agency seemed greedy, which was a bit of a concern. *Service of Travel Agent:* Despite the issues, the travel agent was very nice and decent. He was always available to address our queries and managed our trip effectively, even when he had to rely on another agent due to his limited knowledge of the locations. Overall, while there were some hiccups, the agent's service and efforts to resolve issues were commendable. With a bit more attention to detail and better coordination with suppliers, Travel Triangle could provide an even better experience for its clients. *Recommendation:* While I would recommend Travel Triangle for its agent's service, I would suggest they work on improving their supplier partnerships and quality control to ensure a smoother experience for clients.

      Hotel Breakfast was not good. No proper Management and seems lack of Man power. Network Issue in the room. Coonoor was not covered and Iternary should have been shared to Driver. It seems there was no proper communication provided to the Driver regarding hotel and Iternary. Overall it was okay.

      Peenaz's 6 days trip to Kanyakumari

      Hotels - Raisana was near and clean. Roopa hotel was well managed but it wasn't well managed but the food at their restaurant had a lot of soda in their fitters. We informed this there too. For the third stay we expected a deluxe stay and because of some miscommunication we ended in a lodge type pl
      ace though an alternative was given to us but our mood was spoilt since we were expecting better for the price. We were kept in some lodging residency type of thing. Cab and driver - the drivers skills were good and he was experiencing but the car was old and broken. Firstly he outright refused to take us to all the places mentioned in the itinerary. The car's front seat was broken, back seat was coming out. The car needs maintenance. Service - I felt outsmarted by the travel agent twice and the mistake is mine that I trusted blindly. These two bad instances made me have a bad opinion. For the price I paid my stays except for the first one were pathetic
