Introduction
Both Kovalam and Kanyakumari lie in the southern most part of Kerala. While beaches are a factor that connects the both, the ambience of both the places is of a huge contrast. Both places are popular tourist destinations, but Kanyakumari has a very spiritual nature whereas Kovalam is more or less like a hippie town. To experience this contrast, visit both the places and return with a bunch of beautiful memories.
