Learn more about hotels in Thiruvananthapuram

Thiruvananthapuram, or Trivandrum as it is often called, is a city of kings and scholars. Ruled by the Ays dynasty and later the Kingdom of Venad, the city began its journey under the watchful eye of Marthanda Varma, the founder of the princely state of Travancore. Today, Thiruvananthapuram is not only the most populous city in Kerala but also stands as a beacon in the world of information technology, contributing to over half of the state's software exports.

This historic yet progressive city is known for its undulating topography of coastal hills juxtaposed with a modern skyline. Thiruvananthapuram, home to numerous universities and research centres like the University of Kerala, APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, and the Indian Space Research Organisation, lives up to its status as a significant academic and research hub.

But it’s not all work and no play. Thiruvananthapuram transforms itself into a major tourist destination offering an enchanting mix of history, nature, and spirituality. The Padmanabhaswamy Temple, with its rich legends and even richer treasures, the sun-kissed beaches of Kovalam and Varkala, the tranquil backwaters of Poovar and Anchuthengu, and the lush Western Ghats tracts of Ponmudi and the Agastya Mala, all paint a tantalising picture of the experiences that await you here.

When to visit Thiruvananthapuram

Finding the perfect time to visit this bustling city can truly enhance your experience. To best appreciate Thiruvananthapuram's myriad attractions, plan your trip between October and February when the winter chills tame the tropical heat, ensuring a pleasant climate. However, be prepared to be part of the crowd, as these are the peak tourist months.

Summer, from March to May, sees intense heat, making outdoor sightseeing a challenge. While this period is a non-peak season, low hotel tariffs coupled with fewer tourist crowds may appeal to some travellers. Monsoon season, from June to September, brings relief from the summer heat with refreshing rains and a flourishing green landscape, though the high humidity might prove discomforting to some. Nevertheless, this time of year provides unique photographic opportunities and lets you observe the city in a different light.
