Vazhvanthol Waterfalls

Reviewed By arunimagsolorider

I visited the water fall in December 2020. It was an awesome experience. Nice trekking with their guide. Fee was ₹1500 for 10 persons. We have to carry enough food& water. Trekking was through rocky terrain. Almost 4 hours took for the entire trekking. Waterfalls was so super. But due to corona bathing /playing in water was not allowed. But overall trip was awesome.

Shanghumukham Beach

Reviewed By SG1090 - Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), India

I am a frequent visitor of this beach.I loved this beach because of the sitting arrangement,crowds,small tea stall,good hotels like old coffee house,the statue of Mathsyakanyaka,art gallery,etc.Atleast 2 hours can be passed by simply watching beach.A lot of ice cream stalls.Better to avoid visit on holidays,too much rush and difficult to park cars.Byk can be parked anywhere.
