India – Kanyakumari

The southernmost town in India,  Kanyakumar is a great place to visit and watch the sun rise and sunset over the Indian Ocean.

In fact, there are three seas that meet here and can be viewed. These are the Indian ocean, the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian sea. Under British rule, Kanyakumari was known as Cape Comorin and has the unique feature of travellers being able to view  Sunset and Moonrise simultaneously on days when there is a full moon.

You can reach Kanyakumari by rail and travelling by train in India is a great experience. Alternatively, the nearest airport is at Thiruvananthapuram, about two hours away.
