Kovalam

Kovalam is a beach town in Thiruvananthapuram city, by the Arabian Sea, located around 16 km from the city center. Kovalam first received attention when the Regent Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi of Travancore constructed her beach resort here in 1920s. The place was brought to the public eye by her nephew the Maharaja of Travancore. Kovalam shot into limelight again in the early seventies with arrivals of the hippies on their way to Ceylon in the Hippie Trail. This exodus started the transformation of a casual fishing village of Kerala into the most important tourist destinations in the nation.

Trivandrum

The state of Kerala’s capital, Thiruvananthapuram, is situated on the west coast of India, not far from the country’s southernmost point.

The capital of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram, and Nagercoil are the two closest large cities, making Kerala a well-liked tourism destination in India. The Hindu goddess Kanyakumari, whose temple is located in the town of it’s, on the seashore, and is quite close to the confluence of the three water-bodies — the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean — gave rise to the name Kanyakumari. The Cholas, the Cheras, the Pandyas, and the Nayaks all ruled over Kanyakumari, which has long been a significant centre for art and religion.

Guruvayur

Although there are no historical documents to confirm it, the Tamil novel “Kokasandesam” makes references to a place called Kuruvayur. Numerous references to Kuruvayur may be found dating back to the 16th century. Kuruvai, which meaning sea in ancient Dravidic, may have been the name of the coastal village, Kuruvayur.
