Trivandrum & Around: Rich temples, Beaches and Coconut trees
Overview: We had been planning to visit Kanyakumari since long and when my brother was in Trivandrum for some training, we got a chance to visit him and also visit Kanyakumari. So we started off on a 3-day trip down south. Day 0: We boarded the Trivandrum express from Bangalore at around 6:00pm. Day 1: We woke up in the morning and was a really good sight outside with backwaters and coconut trees all around. We reached Trivandrum in the morning at around 11:00am. After relaxing for a while, we went to the Thiruvallam backwaters just at the outskirts of Trivandrum. Enjoyed a lazy boat ride to the sea shore and spent sometime in the sands watching the sea. We then came back and visited one of my aunts at the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission in Trivandrum. Spending an hour there, we set off towards the bus stand where we met my brother who came after his office. Trivandrum is not a typical capital city with hustle bustle and looks like any small town.We signed off for the day with this....
