Sacred stones
Among the numerous breathtaking temples in the region, the Shri Padmanabhaswamy Temple is perhaps the most impressive. It officially dates from the 18th century but has elements that take it back as far as the eighth century, and perhaps even beyond that. Enter the dramatic gateway tower with its seven tiers to view Vishnu inside the inner sanctum.
The magical Malabar Coast
Kerala’s beaches are soft, sandy and ideal for long, lazy days. One of the closest to Thiruvananthapuram is the Lighthouse Beach at Kovalam, which has warm, shallow water and a backdrop of gently swaying palm and green coconut trees. If you want to exert yourself, climb the 142 steps to the top of the lighthouse or book some water sport activities.
