Situated around 2 km from the city on Kanyakumari-Kovalam Road, this water amusement park, also called The Sun City, promises to offer excitement and wholesome fun with water slides, simulated rain dances and wave pools. The first seaside amusement park in India, it opened the doors for public on February 3, 2003. The park is famous for adventurous rides which are technologically safe. It is the place to unwind and have a great time.

The cultural centre of the city where the ashes of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi were kept before immersion, the Gandhi Memorial is a must-visit. The building’s architecture is unique that the sun’s rays fall exactly at the spot where the ashes had been placed. It is home to a library that houses many rare historical periodicals and old books, along with thousands of other books, magazines and pamphlets. The memorial also holds a correspondence course on the activities and life of the father of the nation and a certificate is awarded to students at its conclusion.

Situated in the southernmost region of the country, Sanguthurai Beach is one of the cleanest and calmest beaches. A beautiful expanse of white sand flanked by pristine and lukewarm water, the beach is an idyllic spot to relax and rejuvenate. Tourists can also enjoy swimming in the waters and sun-bathe on the beach. If you look closely, you can also spot the famous Vivekananda Rock Memorial from here.

Located on the outskirts of Kanyakumari, the enchanting Thirparappu Falls make for a charming sight. Cascading down a height of 50 ft, these gushing manmade falls are set amid picturesque greens. The pristine water gets collected in a pool, which is a particular favourite with children as they can frolic around with abandon. Tourists can enjoy a boat ride in the waters of the falls and have a fun-filled afternoon. You can also head to a small temple of Lord Shiva that is located at the entrance of the falls.

Etch the memories of your trip to Kanyakumari with the celestial happenstance of sunrise, sunset and moonrise. On full moon days, enjoy the special spectacle of the moon rising and the sun setting simultaneously. On Chitra Purnima in April, both moon and sun face each other on the same horizon. To witness this incredible phenomenon, one can head to the Vivekananda Rock, floating amidst a pristine expanse of water.
