Travelogue on - Poovar

Poovar island is 30km from Trivandrum and 12km south of kovalam. Nearest airport and railway station is in trivandrum…Through road if you travel from Trivandrum in the early morning you can avoid the traffic and reach the boat jetty in 45-mts….A 15-minute scenic boat ride through the backwaters takes you to the resorts around the island.

Places to visit: Poovar is a place to laze around, soak in the unlimited stretch of green and blue hues that weave the landscape and feast on some sumptuous food. Sightseeing is more like a houseboat cruise on the Paruthiyur backwaters and picnicking on the coconut grove trimmed beach. Take a trip to Trivandrum for your shopping…Padmanabaswamy temple, a wonderful place to visit if you are spiritual. Most of the temples in kerala follow strict dress codes and non-Hindus are not permitted into the temple. A night travel can take you to cape comourin. To visit wildlife sanctuary prior permission has to be taken from the concerned authority.

If you want to pick some hot banana chips, famous in kerala. Kerala traditional saris or handicrafts a trip to the city is worth an effort. Visit the Zoo, Napier’s or Kuthiramalika Museum near East fort. Read more on Poovar, Kerala
