Kovalam
Kovalam is 16 kilometers from Trivandrum. Having earned an attribute, the Paradise of the South, it offers today excellent accommodation, western and Indian style food that consists of grilled seafood as lobsters, Kalamari, and king prawn. For rejuvenation treatments, Ayurvedic massage parlours and Yoga centres are also available.
Kovalam was brought into the focus of World Tourism around thirty years back by the Royal family of Travancore, the erstwhile rulers of Central Kerala. Over the years the entire area and the support infrastructure have been well developed and now provide excellent facilities to visitors. It is quite easy to travel to Kovalam as it is well connected by air, rail and road and is only 16 kilometers from the capital of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum).
The beautiful beaches of Kovalam are truly enchanting and are ideal for swimming with its shallow beaches and mild waves. At some places one can walk up to a hundred meters into the sea and still the water will be only chest high. It really is an amazing place and gives any visitor a holiday he will never forget. One may swim, surf or snorkel in Kovalam and may spend time getting a tan or lazing away.
Apart from the fun and frolic associated normally with beaches everywhere, Kovalam offers to the travellers two added attractions. They are exotic cuisine and ayurveda. The array of fresh seafood available at Kovalam is mind-blowing and the beachside restaurants take pride in the sumptuous and mouthwatering delicacies they serve. One will be able to enjoy Western, Continental, Chinese and Thai cooking at these restaurants along with scintillating varieties of local dishes. The uniquely tasty grilled seafood and also the spicy Indian Curry must not be missed!
The Yoga centres and Ayurvedic massage parlours add a whole new dimension to the holidays at Kovalam. While the relaxing and refreshing massages help to flush out the toxins from a personals body and relax him, the Yogic ways taught by experts will enable one to recharge his batteries and retain his inner calm even when the person is back to the hustle and bustle of normal routine.
Azure water and favourable climate make Kovalam a favourite year-round spot for swimming and sun bathing. People from all around the world visit Kovalam to make it a centre fostering international understanding in an informal way.
