Sandwiched cozily amidst the Ghats and the Arabian Sea, Trivandrum is elegantly positioned on the seven hills by the coast. It is one of the hottest tourist destinations in Kerala. Hence, it is no wonder that the popularity of hotels in Trivandrum are ever on the rise. It might be better to base yourself in the city and then venture to the famous beaches such as Kovalam, Shangumukham, Varkala in day. The accommodation near these beaches can be a tad expensive. But many pocket-friendly options can be found at budget hotels near Trivandrum railway station.

The mid-range hotels in Trivandrum are dedicated to giving maximum comfort and enjoyment to visitors. The overall ambience is tranquil enough to divert one from the pointless stress. Those visiting for trade reasons or for a conference, the hotels near Trivandrum railway station, bus station or airport are the best options. They make sure that they act as places where the visitor will eagerly anticipate retiring after an eventful day of touring and pleasing their gourmand selves with the enticing Kerala cuisine.

Like Taj Mahal is to Agra and Eiffel Tower is to Paris, Padmanabha Swamy temple is to Trivandrum and is the highlight of the same. Trivandrum is home to numerous ancient temples. They have been renovated many times that the feel of antiquity is missing. But the shrine of Sree Padmanabha Swamy preserves its erstwhile renown. This temple is more than a tourist a attraction. People see it as a prayer and a boon at the same time.

Numerous tales speak of Sage Vilvamangalam’s first encounter with Lord Vishnu as Sree Padmanabha Swamy. He blocked the path of the sage, disguised as a tree. And then the Lord divulged himself as the supreme power. Lord Vishnu with his faithful serenade Anantha, the five-headed snake, was convinced by the sage to remain in this city. His gigantic form, resting on the heads of Anantha, is said to have enlarged and precisely covered the place that was to be Thiruvananthapuram (City of the Sacred Snake).

The Kerala capital inhabits just a part of that huge land today. And this is just one of the many fascinating legends you will get to hear about this place.

Trivandrum, which was part of the mighty Thiruvithamcoor Kingdom, was predestined for greatness. Trivandrum’s political significance helped a lot to turn it into a modern city. But the forts and palaces he left behind by the Travancore kings, distinguished ‘tharavadu’ (ancestral houses) built by the old ‘Nair’ families and mansions constructed by the British Raj are dotted all over the capital. All these give it a unique character. These edifices have fortunately survived the seeping commercialism that seems to have gripped the city in the recent years. Trivandrum is still a crowning jewel and god’s own domain.
