Reviewed By EASWAR52 - Mumbai, India

This is one of the oldest temples in Trivandrum. It is very famous and powerful. One must spend considerable time here to have a glimpse of all the important places like, the main deity sree Padmanabhan, darshan of all other deities inside, visit around the premises full of sculptures etc A crowded temple with limited darshan timings and dress codes. A visit to this temple will certainly make you satisfied, fulfilled and happy. Many poojas are available here to suit varied prayers of devotees. Definitely a must see temple and land mark in Trivandrum.

Great place to visit especially for kids aged 5 or above. A full fledged entertainer with zero wastage of our money and time . Very well maintained; the effort taken to retain the place in its original beauty is highly commendable. One of its kind here and a guaranteed tourist attraction we can suggest to anyone visiting Trivandrum. The shows include magic, circus, and more magic! All artists are highly talented and keeps us engaged throughout the visit. Besides the fun and frolic, the place is home to the Different Art Centre, a unique initiative working towards the upliftment of kids with special needs. Their shows are sure to keep us in awe and spellbound. Operates strictly with Covid protocols ensuring full protection and frequent sanitization

Kovalam Beach

Reviewed By SandeepBinPune - Pune, India

We visited Kovalam Beach in early November and stayed at the Neelkanta (60 year old hotel with no lift and with pathetic infrastructure) which is located right on the beach. We could hear and see the Arabian sea from our room and watched many glorious sunsets from there. The boats return in the evening with lights on and make for a serene dusk sight.
