Marunthuvazh Malai, meaning “Hill Where Medicines Live”, is a sacred and scenic hill range located near Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu. According to legend, this hill is believed to be a fragment of the Sanjeevani Mountain carried by Lord Hanuman during the Ramayana, and hence, it is said to be rich in rare medicinal herbs with healing properties.

Surrounded by serene landscapes and mythological significance, Marunthuvazh Malai is a perfect blend of natural beauty, divine energy, and ancient lore — a must-visit for those seeking peace and adventure in Kanyakumari.
