India is a really big country, much bigger than the USA and Europe combined in terms of population, so it is amazing how few places in Indian people have heard of.
As far as most Europeans are concerned, India starts and ends with Mumbai and Deli. There is a lot more to the place than just these cities – which, though they are great in there own ways are quite ‘in your face’. Don’t get me wrong,Delhi and Mumbai are great to visit in their own way, but they are unlikely to be everybody’s cup of tea when it comes to relaxing holiday destinations.
Thiruvananthapuram is probably on of India’s best kept secrets, but word is beginning to spread. India is a great place to get away for some winter sun – when you go on thaat kind of break you are going to want to be near some nice beaches no?
Formerly known as Trivandrum, Thiruvananthapuram is the capital of the Kerala region. Kerala is definitely the Indian holiday destination of Indians. As well as being the gateway to the region there are a quite a few really great attractions that the city has.
India has fantastic and diverse wildlife, and you can see quite a bit of it at Thiruvananthapuram’s zoological gardens. This zoo sure has to be one of the worlds best, as it has mile upon mile of enclosures that replicate the natural environments that the creatures would live in.
There has been an Indian space program since the ’60s. Thiruvananthapuram has been the home of this program – and has the high tech legacy from it. You won’t need a rocket ship to get their either, as flights to Thiruvananthapuram are among the most cost effective flights to India, especially when you take into account internal transfers. From just £423 – bargain.
