Previously known as Trivandrum, Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala,
is located at the south western tip of India. A peaceful attractive
city built on the low hills by the sea, it is also an important entry
into India with communication links to Maldives, Sri Lanka and other countries
through the west Arabian sea. The ancient city now offers all modern facilities
needed by a visitor but has managed to retain most of the ambience, characteristic
of Kerala such as the traditional wooden houses, narrow winding lanes,
historic monuments, temples and its rich cultural heritage. Along with
these, internationally renowned beaches like Kovalam, its palaces and
temples make Thiruvananthapuram a much sought after tourist destination.
