Kovalam – Kanyakumari

After breakfast proceeds to Kanyakumari, Formerly christened Cape Comorin by the British, the place derived its name from its geographical distinction as a cape. The most visited place now, no doubt, is the Vivekananda Rock Memorial accessible by a short boat ride from the mainland which is a spot to view the most spectacular sunrise and sunset in the country. It is believed that Swami Vivekananda visited here to take the blessings of the Kanyakumari Devi, who is considered to be the deity of sanyas. The rock is also known as Sripadaparai which bears a footprint like projection, endorsing the myth that it is the footprint of the Devi. Kanyakumari is the land’s end, situated at the tip of the Indian peninsula at the junction of the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal.
