About this experience
A guided day from Trivandrum's royal heritage to Kovalam's beach town, for travellers already based in Kovalam or Trivandrum. Your guide opens the morning at Padmanabhaswamy Temple, the 2,000-year Divya Desam shrine known for its unquantified treasure vaults, then walks you to Kuthira Malika Palace next door, an 1847 royal residence with 122 wooden horses carved into the teak roof rafters. The drive south to Kovalam brings you to Vizhinjam Fishing Harbour, where the traditional trawler fleet lands beside a centuries-old coastal mosque, before the 35-metre Kovalam Lighthouse climb and a sunset walk along Lighthouse Beach, Kerala's oldest international beach.
