Tourism In Trivandrum

Have you ventured to that enchanting land of seven hills by the seashore, where lush greenery meets the coast? Our beloved father of the nation affectionately named it “The Evergreen City." The sights in Trivandrum are stunning and will leave you spellbound! Trivandrum is magical, with a rainbow mist enveloping flower-covered mountains, butterflies dancing in the sky, and views of charming beaches, captivating temples, historical monuments, magnificent palaces, delightful backwaters, and vintage tea, coffee, and spice plantations blending royal charm with modern styles. This lovely beach city, filled with art and architecture lovers, thrives with rich natural and historical significance while embracing a vibrant metropolitan culture that holds onto its roots. Emerging from one story to uncover another, the city sparkles in dappled sunlight filtering through green trees, welcoming backwaters flowing gracefully into the Arabian Sea. Let’s take a look at some of the other aspects of Trivandrum.

Major Attractions Of Trivandrum

Trivandrum is an excellent gateway to the nearby beach towns of Kovalam and Varkala! One of India’s must-visit spots, the Padmanabhaswamy Temple (also known as the Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Temple), is truly remarkable. You’ll also find other beautiful temples in Trivandrum, like the Attukal Bhagawati Temple, Aazhimala Siva Temple, Karikkakom Chamundi Devi Temple, and Pazhavangadi Ganapathy Temple. Beyond the temples, Trivandrum is home to various fascinating museums, including the Kuthiramalika Palace Museum and the Napier Museum. The Kuthiramalika Palace Museum, conveniently located near the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, showcases stunning Travancore-style architecture and displays invaluable paintings and collections of the royal family. Just a stone's throw from Trivandrum, Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary and Poovar Island present an enchanting natural experience. Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary, set amidst lush landscapes, is teeming with rich biodiversity, including elephants, tigers, and exotic birds. While visiting this lovely city, be sure to take the time to explore these fantastic places!

Shopping In Trivandrum

Shopping in Trivandrum is exhilarating, with many options available. It is known for traditional handicrafts like Kathakali masks, ivory, sandalwood, rosewood items, local spices, handloom, coir, and fabrics. Connemara Market and Sankars Coffee & Tea provide various sauces and condiments. These markets are near MG Road, a well-known shopping area. Another popular spot is Chalai Market, and the S.M.S.M. Kerala Government Emporium offers paintings and other souvenirs.

Local Delicacies In Trivandrum

The traditional staple diet in Kerala remains a beloved constant, but the delightful variety of sides, drinks, and snacks brings a wonderfully unique flair to the cuisine. In Trivandrum, popular dishes include Thoran, a lovely mix of fresh vegetables beautifully dressed with coconut, and a creamy stew where potatoes and onions are cooked in rich coconut milk. Another favourite is Kalaan, a refreshing dish with buttermilk, melons, and ripe mangoes. Don’t forget the wonderfully crispy banana chips, a cherished snack that deserves a special place in the cuisine! Plus, vegetarian options are just as popular as meat dishes. You’ll find a tempting mix on many menus, from delicious seafood to savoury chicken, beef, and pork.

Himani's 3 days trip to Trivandrum

We enjoyed a lot, except the last hotel- Green palace Alleppey, but the staff was good.

Rajeeb Panda

Bhubaneswar

Rajeeb's 4 days trip to Trivandrum

I booked the package tour before I month of my Tour. I was very excited about this tour. My tour was from Aluva (Kerela) to Munnar and Thekaddy in Kerala. It was a road trip from Aluva. I will give my genuine Feedback. I had a discussion with Mr. Digipal Jee from Travel Triangle and Mr. Ankit from t

he local travels company. I would like to say that the vehicle (Desire) which was assigned to me was not up to the mark. The AC was not working properly. The temperature was very high but anyways I managed. But my Blood pressure was high when the driver asked me money for petrol. They don't even have the communication that I have paid the entire amount to Travel Triangle two days back. Thereafter I called my so called agent Mr. Digipal Jee and Ankit Jee, thereafter the issue got resolved. This shows that they are not professionals and Poor Communication between their travel agents and travel triangle. My Hotel bookings in Munnar was at "Hotel Star Emirates" it was a 4 Star Property but here also the same issue no communication on the payment matter. The receptionist asked me about the payment and here also I called Mr. Digipal Jee and Ankit and clarified that the entire amount has been paid to Travel Triangle before two days back. My family was suffering and we waited for 1 hour for Check-in. Poor Co-ordination. Now review on Room. I stayed their for 2 Nights and till my entire stay the Intercom (A Major source of Communication within the Hotel) was not working. When I complained they just told that it will be rectified soon. But till my checkout the Phone was out of order. They gave me duty manager's contact number and asked I can call in this number if anything is required. But when my son tried calling in this number to order Noodles for him the phone was not responding at that time. I waited for 10 mins in my room but i didn't recieved any kind of response form the hotel end. It was my big mistake to book my Package from Travel Triangle. I am sorry I will never repeat this mistake once Again. They also charged me Rs. 1000 extra because my son's actual age was 13 instead of I mentioned 12 Years while booking this package. The Gentleman from Travel Triangle Mr. Digipal Jee called me directly and asked to pay Rs. 1000 extra at Hotel only because my son is 1 year more elder than what I register. My point is I managed lot of non-cooperation from the travel agent but they can't managed a single mistake from my end. Thanks Travel Triangle for all this....I will never ever repeat this kind of mistake in my life.

Hiteshvijay's 4 days trip to Trivandrum

It was a pleasant experience, very well organised and very helpful people. Hotels at munnar was little far away from Munnar, however it was good. The cab person and the car quality was excellent. The Breakfast items at Munnar was a bit concern as very limited options. It is better to book hotels wit

hout breakfast, as it is too costly. Overall a good experience and can again plan with you.
