Kovalam was once and still remains a haven for hippies and every year, there is an influx of backpackers from Europe and Israel. The number of visitors from European countries increased as the Halcyon Castle was built on the orders of Queen Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bayi, who entertained people from Europe. The Europeans discovered the underlying beauty of the town and thereafter, started visiting it more often. They come in search of a new culture and heritage.

    **Kerala Trip Review** I recently visited Kerala and had a wonderful experience. Vivek ji, our driver provided for the trip was exceptionally reliable, punctual, and knowledgeable about the local routes and attractions, which made traveling stress-free and enjoyable. The accommodation was decent,
    offering clean and comfortable rooms, which added to the overall convenience of the trip. I would highly recommend this destination for anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway. Overall, a memorable and smooth experience!

    Utpaljitk's 5 days trip to Kovalam

    Hotel at Munnar Mist inn is not upto value. But at Thekkady Mountain hues is very good. At Alleppey some boat house issue but agency managed. Boat house is ok but they moved only 1/2 km which is not our expectations. Food is ok but generic. Travel agency has misguide. At cherai beach hotel infront o
    f sea but room is too small. Journey was wonderful, all hills please is ok. At Alleppey house boat experience was beautiful.
