Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a full day in Alleppey for a house‑boat cruise or a day in Kanyakumari to witness the sunrise and sunset at the southern tip of India. To shorten the itinerary, you can omit the Trivandrum city tour and return directly from Kovalam to the resort, saving a few travel hours while still enjoying the beach and waterfall highlights.
