Kanyakumari is the geographical climax of peninsular India where the waters of the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, and Bay of Bengal converge at Triveni Sangam. Traveling in a dedicated private tourist cab along NH 44 from Madurai gives you a relaxed 4.5-hour highway ride through southern Tamil Nadu. By staying overnight on the coast, you comfortably catch both the multi-hued ocean sunset and the unforgettable ocean sunrise without having to rush on same-day travel.
Carefully timed sightseeing ensuring you experience all essential landmarks in comfort.
