This coastal city has much more to offer than its beautiful beaches; It is a hub for various activities from water sports and spiritual experiences to eco-tourism and beyond!<\/p><p>Considering a trip to Kovalam? It&#8217;s worth noting that it was the first tourist spot in India that captured the heart of the Queen of Travancore, Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bai. She was so enamored with the place that in the 1920s, she built a grand castle on a hill near Kovalam Beach to host royal events.<\/p><p>But Kovalam isn&#8217;t just about the beach. The town boasts temples, art galleries, and luxurious Ayurvedic resorts. Tourism in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kovalam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Kovalam<\/strong><\/a> truly took off in the 1970s when hippies, en route to Sri Lanka (previously known as Ceylon), fell in love with the beach&#8217;s shallow waters and gentle waves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9f05af elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e9f05af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/indiamagicaltrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/kovalam-beach.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-410\" alt=\"Best Places to Visit in Kovalam\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiamagicaltrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/kovalam-beach.jpg.webp 750w, https:\/\/indiamagicaltrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/kovalam-beach-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1b2d0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b1b2d0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">11 Best Places to Visit in Kovalam <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3db7b29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3db7b29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ready to explore?

Lace-up your comfortable shoes, grab your binoculars and make sure your camera is ready to look at some birds. This is the same lake where well-known snake boat races during the ONAM festival.<\/p><p>The Valei Lake is a visit to Kovalam due to its breathtaking green landscape. Valei Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Kerala. If you are going to Kovalam with your family, consider a boat ride on the lake, especially if you have children.<\/p><p>Interestingly, the area around Valeyani Lake is not crowded with vendors. You can see some ice-cream vendors, but it is about it. This makes the lake special, which gives visitors a chance to enjoy their calm environment away from the specific tourism vibe. This is one of the reasons that the journey of this lake in Kovalam is a top recommendation.<\/p><p>If you really want to immerse yourself in local culture, consider booking a homestay near the lake. In this way, you can experience the life of the village of Kerala. For those looking for luxury housing, you want to investigate the main city of Kovalam that offers a range of modern features and lodging.<\/p><p><b>Recommendations Nearby:<\/b><\/p><ul><li><b>Restaurants:<\/b> Anitha&#8217;s Bistro and Cafe, Ustad Hotel, ABC Cafe and Restaurant<\/li><li><b>Hotels: <\/b>Park International, Soma Pamshore Beach Resort, C Flower Beach Resort<\/li><li><strong>S<\/strong><b>hopping:<\/b> Kerala antiques, ancient home decoration.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-168e017 bdt-backdrop-filter-yes bdt-filter-backdrop elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"168e017\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u21d2<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffd7ba;\">Also Read:<\/span><\/span> <a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/indiamagicaltrip.com\/blog\/india\/kerala\/things-to-do-in-kerala\/\">Top Things to Do in Kerala <span style=\"color: #ccffcc;\">\u21d0<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e05e75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"1e05e75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Lighthouse-Beach\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8beb51c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8beb51c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

Also, the main city of Trivandrum is approximately 17 kms away.<\/p><p>The main attraction of the village is the Vizhinjam rock cut cave temple, which dates back to the 8th century AD. While visiting Kovalam with your family, do add this temple to your list. Inside, you will be amazed to see an alluring sculpture of Dakshinamurthy and intricate rock carvings of the Indian god, Lord Shiva and his consort, Parvati.

Here&#8217;s the fun fact about this temple: Forbes named it the richest place of worship on the planet. This quality of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple makes it one of the best places to visit in Kovalam for travelers.<\/p><p>This Kovalam temple is very special. It is one of the 108 holy temples of India associated with Vaishnavism. It is rumored to have immense wealth in its coffers, enough to solve the world&#8217;s problems. But, legend says, a centuries-old curse awaits you if you even think about touching that treasure.<\/p><p>The temple&#8217;s architecture? Simply magnificent. It\u2019s a blend of Chera and Dravidian styles. It&#8217;s not just popular for its richness but also its deity: Lord Vishnu. Within, He&#8217;s depicted chilling in an eternal yoga pose, known as the Anantha Shayana Posture. If you&#8217;re planning a visit, aim for the Alphashy Festival time. The temple gets lively with tons of visitors.<\/p><p><strong>Remember a couple of things before you go:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><strong>Dress code:<\/strong> Guys, rock a white or off-white dhoti and angavastram.<\/li><li><strong>Festive times:<\/strong> Painkuni (around March\/April) and Alpasi (October\/November).<\/li><li><strong>Heads up:<\/strong> Leave your cameras at home; no photos or videos allowed in there.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09817d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"09817d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Vizhinjam-Marine-Aquarium\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa21951 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aa21951\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">9.

Owing to its religious diversity, this coastal city has churches, temples and mosques all within easy reach.<\/p><p>Often called a bohemian backpacker&#8217;s paradise, Kovalam reflects the atmosphere of Goa with its beaches, watersports and trendy cafes, attracting many European and Israeli visitors. But if you are in Goa, Kovalam near Thiruvananthapuram offers a unique coastal experience.<\/p><p>While Kovalam attracts backpackers, it is especially popular among tourists aged 40 to 60 who seek relaxation and rejuvenation. This is the reason why Kovalam is famous for its authentic Ayurveda resorts offering holistic treatments.<\/p><p>We would love to know which part of Kovalam you liked the most!
