India is a country that many visit, and few ever want to leave. The country has a diverse mix of cultures, culinary styles, architecture, attractions, and traditional beliefs. Many people visit the country each year to celebrate honeymoons, anniversaries, retirement, or just as a way to broaden their horizons and appreciate new cultures. When you and your family or friends are considering a get-away to a mystical land, be sure to consider one of the many Kanyakumari tour packages that are offered.
Long Name, Popular Destination
While the name may be hard to pronounce for outsiders, the area is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. Situated at the southern point of India in the state of Tamil Nadu, Kanyakumari is home to numerous religious and historical sites, as well as breathtaking scenery. Once known as Cape Comorin, the area is one of the few in the world where you can see the sunset and the moon rise at the same time. Pilgrimages are popular with both foreign and domestic tourists as the area is home to a range of sacred temples and holy sites. Men and women travel from all across India and the world to visit these sites for a short time.
You Must See these Places of Interest
When you are deciding on the perfect Kanyakumari tour packages for your family, be sure to ask about some of the local places of interest. The Thiruvalluvar Statue stands well above the heads of those who visit it, and is placed atop a 38-foot (11.5 m) tall pedestal. After departing the Statue, a visit to the Vivekaanda Rock Memorial and Gandhi Memorial should not be missed. For a glimpse of stunning Gothic architecture, Our Lady of Ransom Church is well worth the visit. This building is more than 100 years old and was created in dedication to the Virgin Mary. Its off-white coloration and three spires can easily be seen from many areas of the city.
Getting Around the Town
Getting into the area can be done by ferry, rail or bus. In addition, taking a slower pace and walking the streets or making use of a bicycle can give you an intimate view of the town you would never get from public transportation. Immersion can easily be achieved when you slow down and take the time to enjoy the sights and sounds of the local culture.
Deciding on the right Kanyakumari tour packages for you and your family might be difficult, but with the help from Lumiere Holidays you will soon be on your way to a great vacation!
