What to see in Kanyakumari
A temple at the tip of India, two rock memorials in the sea, and old temples, forts and a wooden palace inland. One day covers the main sights by cab.
Vivekananda Rock and Thiruvalluvar Statue
Two rocks about 500 m out to sea, joined by a glass bridge since December 2024. Boats from the jetty run about 08:00 to 16:00 and stop when the sea is rough.
Kumari Amman Temple
The temple of the girl goddess who gives the town its name. Open about 04:30 to 12:15 and 16:00 to 20:00; men go in shirtless, in a dhoti or mundu.
Sunrise Point and the Sunset Point
The sun rises out of the sea in front of the temple, between about 06:00 and 06:40. The Sunset Point is about 3 km west, with the sun down between about 17:55 and 18:45.
Suchindram Thanumalayan Temple
A big temple to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma together, with musical stone pillars, about 14 km from town. Open about 04:30 to 11:30 and 17:00 to 20:00.
Padmanabhapuram Palace
The wooden palace of the Travancore kings at Thuckalay, right on the drive from Trivandrum. Open 09:00 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 16:30, closed on Mondays.

A small granite fort on the sea about 7 km up the coast, built by the Travancore kingdom. Open about 08:00 to 16:30; there is little shade.
The drive: which way to go
Everyone takes NH66. The question is whether to stop at Padmanabhapuram Palace on the way.
NH66 through Marthandam and Nagercoil
~89 km · about 2.5 h · via Neyyattinkara, Marthandam & Nagercoil
The main highway south, through a string of busy towns. Leave early to miss the traffic in Marthandam and Nagercoil, and to reach Kanyakumari while the ferry is running.
Via Padmanabhapuram Palace
~90 km · about 4.5 h with the visit · stop at Thuckalay
The palace is just off the highway at Thuckalay, 57 km from Trivandrum and 33 km before Kanyakumari. Allow about 2 hours inside. It is closed on Mondays and from 12:30 to 14:00.
