What Is the Southernmost Point of India?

The southernmost point of the Indian mainland is Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin) in Tamil Nadu (8°4' N). Here, the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, and Arabian Sea meet—a famed confluence for sunrise/sunset views.

The southernmost point of Indian territory is Indira Point on Great Nicobar Island (6°45' N) in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. It was partially submerged by the 2004 tsunami; the lighthouse remains a landmark.

Kanyakumari is a major pilgrimage and tourist site (Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Statue, Gandhi Memorial).
