Why visit Kanyakumari
Kanyakumari is not in Kerala, but it can be a useful extension from Thiruvananthapuram for travellers who want to reach India's southern tip.
The strongest experience is the combination of coastal landmarks, Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Statue and sunrise or sunset atmosphere. It works best when the traveller specifically values the landmark rather than as an automatic addition to every Kerala trip.
