Places of Interest :
Kovalam
Along the 600 kilometer length of the Kerala coast, there are many sandy beaches,
rocky promontories and coconut palms. The fishing village of Kovalam lies 10
kilometers south of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. Kovalam is the
only beach resort of Kerala, and is very popular with the Indian as well as
international tourists. Industry is relatively small scale in this area and
the prices low.
The beach is just a few minutes walk from the village. Kovalam consists of three
successive small crescent beaches; the southern most known as Lighthouse Beach,
is where most of the visitors spend their time. The beach is bordered with low
cost lodging houses, and restaurants which offer adequate facilities, at affordable
tariffs - ideal for a long stay.
The light house on the promontory at the southern end of the beach, offers a
spectacular view across to the Vizhinjam mosque. Photography is prohibited here.
The middle beach, overlooked from a rocky headland by the five star Ashok Radisson
resort, functions each morning as a base for local fishers. North of Ashok,
is the third beach which is very little affected by the changing times. It is
dotted with a few rudimentary wooden fishing vessels.
Trivandrum
The
capital of the state of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram or the City of the Sacred
Snake, is built over seven hills. Named after Anantha, the thousand - headed
serpent of Hindu mythology, the city once formed a part of the Travancore kingdom,
its capital at Padmanabhapuram, now a part of Tamil Nadu.
Thiruvananthapuram is, decidedly, one of the cleaner and well-planned cities
of the country. The city's scenic appeal, its enchanting beaches, and overwhelming
greenery only add to its uniqueness.
It embodies the magical feel of Kerala, as a whole, and lends terrific insight
into the culture of the state. The red-tiled roofs, the never-ending stretches
of palm trees, the maze of narrow, winding streets and above all, the sea, make
for a fascinating mixture.
There is an element of understated and effortless elegance about the city, which
leaves a lasting impression on the visitor.
