Trivandrum rewards curiosity: the Padmanabhaswamy temple, the Napier Museum's gingerbread architecture, and a food scene that locals are quietly proud of. Kovalam is close enough that you can spend your mornings in the city and your afternoons in the sea.

Highlights

  • Padmanabhaswamy temple and the old fort quarter
  • Napier Museum gardens and the Sree Chitra art gallery
  • Guided local food crawl through Chalai market
  • Afternoons on Kovalam's sheltered bays
