How To Reach Lighthouse Beach In Kovalam

When it comes to the question of how to reach Lighthouse beach in Kovalam, it is fairly simple and that has been a been a boon for visiting tourists for a long time. While getting into Kovalam, the nearest train station is in Thiruvananthapuram which is a mere 16 km from Kovalam and 11 km from Lighthouse Beach specifically. Rickshaws and cabs coming directly to Lighthouse beach itself can be found very easily and are fairly cheap, especially while traveling in a group. There are also buses for this short journey which happen to be so cheap, they are almost free of charge. In Kovalam itself, one of the options for going around is to rent a scooter/bike. 

Kovalam is a fairly tiny village and the roads are small and picturesque. Anyone that loves a bit of adventure should think about exercising this option. Getting to all the attractions like Lighthouse beach then becomes a fairly simple matter. Another perk of going by two wheeler is that two-wheelers do not need to pay the toll. Otherwise, tourist taxis and rickshaws are always around to ferry people around from one attraction to another. Thus, accessing Lighthouse beach and the beauty it offers is extremely simple with multiple options available for tourists.

Josh's 5 days trip to Kovalam

Everything was good except houseboat experience in Allepy. They operated the ope boat only for 3 hours in the whole package. Rest of the time they stationed the boat at starting point only which was a remote location without any shops or activities possible.

Gangadhar's 7 days trip to Kovalam

Overall it is okay with the services provided by the agency. Also it wud be good if agency can advise on the things which shud be considered by travellers to plan before going to any attraction, say booking tickets in advance for the attractions in demand instead of wasting time at the counters and standing in the queue for long time to view/experience the attractions Stay at munnar and the time spent with family in visiting the near by attractions.

Naresh's 4 days trip to Kovalam

I am highly disappointed with your travel agency. We had planned for a trip to Wayanad. We had a clear discussion about the package details and everything was fixed before the trip. All the charges about the package were decided and the itinerary was planned accordingly before we started our trip. All of the sudden on the third day of our trip, they showed their real faces and the driver demanded for additional charges of Rs.3500 saying that he was booked only for 350 KM ride. This was no where mentioned in the package and also none of the tour agency member informed us earlier regarding this. This is completely unfair. It’s a big cheating from the travel agency. The agency along with driver forced us to pay additional charges which was not stated in the package nor did they mention this earlier. The driver stopped the vehicle in between the trip and forced us to pay additional charges. It was a big trap for us because we were helpless and were forced to pay the extra charges as we were in the middle of the trip and couldn’t do anything rather than listening to them. I am going to take this issue forward and going to file a case against your agency by filing a complaint with the Ministry of Tourism through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring Systems (CPGRAMS) portal. Also I would never ever recommend any of my family friends to book trips from your agency Worst experience ever

Manish's 5 days trip to Kovalam

We booked the honeymoon package as a couple and had a fantastic experience throughout the trip. The cab driver was friendly and talkative, the local food was delightful, and we enjoyed all the sightseeing as planned in our shared itinerary within the given timeframe. Thank you, Trip Seller, for the excellent arrangements!
