Question 1

What is special about Kanyakumari?

Accepted Answer

Frequently skirted as a vacation spot which can be attributed to the closeness of more well-known locations in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Kanyakumari has an inconspicuous appeal that can be felt from the exact instant you put your first step there. The calm, white sand beaches and radiant cascades of Kanyakumari reflect its beauty. You can unwind, play, swim or simply watch the sun go down here.

Assuming that you might want to go for a Kanyakumari trip with family, explore one of the numerous cascades of Kanyakumari. A long way from the buzzing about of the urban communities, most cascades are in segregated spots surrounded by lush greenery. The sound of water running into the stones is surreal.

Temperature: Average of 35 degrees high to 20 degrees low

Climate: Kanyakumari in summer is blistering and humid. Numerous attractions of the place are open during this season, allowing you an opportunity to see them very close. The early weeks of summer are a better time to visit since the sun isn't too harsh yet and there is a cool wind floating in from the ocean. In such a climate, you can undoubtedly walk the entire day, covering many sightseeing destinations in the process. Apart from that, the beach is open during summer as well, giving you a chance to swim in the water, laze around the beach or go surfing.

You can expect intermittent drizzles that add to the charm of a coastal town.

Temperature: Average of 32 degrees high to 17 degrees low

Climate: Winter is the best season to visit Kanyakumari. The climate is perfect and you can go the entire day outside covering the best sightseeing spots and voyaging all around the place.
