Along the Way
The Road from Trivandrum to Kanyakumari
Your driver picks you up from Kovalam, Shanghumugham, Statue junction or any hotel in the city. A Trivandrum Airport to Kanyakumari taxi starts at the domestic or international terminal and avoids the city centre. The road heads south through Balaramapuram's handloom villages and Neyyattinkara, then crosses into Tamil Nadu after Parassala. Shops change to Tamil signboards and the landscape turns to paddy and banana fields. Marthandam's busy market is the one slow point on this stretch. At Thuckalay, a Trivandrum to Padmanabhapuram Palace taxi stops at the old wooden palace of the Travancore kings, about 55 km from the city. The palace is closed on Mondays, so plan your day around it. The Trivandrum to Kanyakumari via Nagercoil road then passes Suchindram, where a Trivandrum to Suchindram taxi can wait at the Thanumalayan temple and its tall gopuram. The Trivandrum to Kanyakumari distance by road is about 90 km in total. At the coast, a Trivandrum to Vivekananda Rock taxi drops you at the ferry jetty for the short boat ride across. The Kanyakumari Amman temple, the sunset point and the Gandhi Mandapam are all within walking distance. Your driver parks nearby and waits until you are ready.
