There are very few places on this beautiful earth where one can witness both the sunrise and the sunset over the horizon. One amongst them is Kanyakumari which is the tip of the Indian mainland. Kanyakumari which is also known as Cape Comorin is the place where the three humungous water bodies namely, Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal meet up. People cannot stop gazing at the darkening horizon and enjoy the moments of solitude. Sunset is more spectacular than a sunrise here and witnessing the setting of the sun makes up for a serene holiday. Lakhs of tourist, round the year are lured by the serene beauty of this place and the spectacles of sunrise and sunset. One can view both sunrise and sunset throughout the year from atop a hill called Murugan Kundram which offers a panoramic view of Kanyakumari.  The sunset and moonrise can be seen almost simultaneously on full moon days from the same spot. It is a unique spectacle.


Sunset at Fort Cochin

During the evenings of May and June, the sky looks spectacular with strokes of orange and yellow in front of the cool setting sun. The famous Chinese fishing nets in the central square of Fort Kochi often define the landscape of this quaint town. The huge, elegant Chinese Fishing nets that line the northern shore of Fort Cochin adds grace to the waterside view of the Arabian Sea, and is probably the most  beautiful sunset with the silhouettes of fishermen working at these nets to get the catch home and have a lucrative evening. The fishermen also let the tourists give a helping hand to enjoy the experience.

Sunset at Taj Mahal

A sunset tour is a great time to see the Taj in transformation, from the grand white monument to a shimmering mausoleum that leaves a lasting impression. The light of the setting sun is also ideal for taking pictures. The fading light of the sun often shows the Taj Mahal at its finest, views that a skilled photographer can capture with ease. The soft glow of the setting sun lights up the white marble of the Taj Mahal in a profusion of colors, creating a vision that is quite unforgettable.

Rann of Kutch

Rann Of Kutch

The Rann of Kutch, also known as the Great Rann of Kutch (there's a Little Rann of Kutch as well), is a remarkable place to visit in Gujarat. It's the world's largest salt desert, measuring over 16,000 square kilometers. A traveller’s dream, it looks even more fantastic as the sun sets on the arid landscape. It's best to head out into the Rann of Kutch only in the early morning or evening, otherwise the salt can be blinding. The full moon is the best time of month to see it, and cultural programs are usually held at Dhordo then. A moonlight Rann camel safari is magical.
