Kerala’s capital city Thiruvananthapuram is also known as Trivandrum. A coastal city, Thiruvananthapuram is set on seven low hills, just 87 kms away from the southern tip of India bounded by the Arabian Sea on the west and Tamil Nadu on the east. Besides its administrative importance, Thiruvananthapuram is an easy-going city known for attractive mixture of narrow backstreets, traditional red-tiled gabled houses, beautifully laid-out parks and acres of palm trees.The wooded highlands on the Western Gahts in the eastern and northeastern borders give Thiruvananthapuram some of India’s most enchanting picnic spots. A long coastline, with some internationally renowned beaches, historic monuments, tranquil backwater stretches and a rich cultural heritage made Thiruvananthapuram a much sought after tourist destination.
Although Thiruvananthapuram has a few monuments, but it is an ideal first stop in the state of Kerala, as a window of Keralan culture. Fort area, Shri Padmanbhaswamy temple and Puttan Malika Palace are most interesting part of the town. While other interesting places are Shri Chitra Art Gallery and Napier Museum stand together in a park in the north.
