Kanyakumari

This small coastal town is the southern most tip of India. It is the place where the three oceans that flank India meet - The Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. It is where Mathatma Gandhi's ashes were scattered on the oceans. The sunrise is the primary focus here and rooms (pretty nice rooms, actually) could be rented for the equivalent of about $15.00 US. A 5:30 am wakeup knock is provided free of charge!
