Kovalam

By the Arabian Sea near Thiruvananthapuram, the beach town of Kovalam is about 16 kilometers from the city’s core. When the Regent Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi of Travancore built her beach resort here in the 1920s, Kovalam initially came to people’s attention. Her nephew, the Maharaja of Travancore, made the location famous. The arrival of hippies traveling the Hippie Trail to Ceylon in the early 1970s brought Kovalam back into the public eye. A little fishing hamlet in Kerala began to change into one of the most popular tourist sites in the country as a result of this exodus.
