Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala, has somehow, quite amazingly, managed to keep itself from the vexatious aura of any usual capital city. This evergreen city of South India, built on seven hills, is a wonderful retreat, quaint yet urban.

Explore Nature in Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary
There is nothing more peaceful and fulfilling than seeing nature in its natural state. A visit to Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to several endangered species, is a must visit site for those who love wildlife. It is 35 kilometers north of Trivandrum and can be reached by KSRTC bus or private cab.
Explore Trivandrum’s Backwaters
The Arabian Sea is connected to the backwaters by a network of lagoons, canals and lakes. They’re surrounded by thick greenery and coconut trees, creating a gorgeous and serene landscape. A houseboat tour is one of the greatest ways to experience the backwaters.
