Welcome

its history. South India and the Indian heritage is more intact here than in other
regions of the country. This is a land of temples, a land of the devoutees.
Trivandrum Travel The
capital of the state of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram or the City of the Sacred
Snake, is built over seven hills. Named after Anantha, the thousand -
headed serpent of Hindu mythology, the city once formed a part of the Travancore
kingdom, its capital at Padmanabhapuram, now a part of Tamil Nadu.
Thiruvananthapuram is, decidedly, one of the cleaner and well-planned cities
of the country. The city's scenic appeal, its enchanting beaches, and overwhelming
greenery only add to its uniqueness. It embodies the magical feel of Kerala,
as a whole, and lends terrific insight into the culture of the state. The red-tiled
roofs, the never-ending stretches of palm trees, the maze of narrow, winding
streets and above all, the sea, make for a fascinating mixture. There is an
element of understated and effortless elegance about the city, which leaves
a lasting impression on the visitor.
