Trivandrum City Tour

Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala’s capital – still usually referred to by its colonial-era name, Trivandrum – is a relatively compact but energetic city spread across low-lying hills and is an easygoing introduction to urban life down south. Most travelers merely springboard from here to the nearby beaches of Kovalam and Varkala, but Trivandrum , the former capital of the princely state of Travancore, has enough good food and intriguing sights including a zoo, a Travancore palace and a cluster of Victorian museums in glorious neo-Keralan buildings.
