    Dev,we are actually planning a Travel forum, but adhukkullE neenga mundhitenga :P

    I was in Trivandrum for 1.5 days and went to the following places:

    - Padmanabha palace (its actually in TN but run by Kerala govt)

    - Padmanaban temple - hubby needs to wear vEshtti and no shirt - they are very strict about this.

    - Accommodation - go for Magic Eyes - excellent rooms and great food. The buffet dinner is just Rs200 and is great!

    - Backwaters - not to be missed. Take the 2 hour boat ride, bring your camera and video camera.
    Stop by at the floating restaurant and order your lunch. Then go over to the beach and catch the splendour of the Arabian sea. 20 mins your meal will be ready!

    - Ayur Vedic oil massage - give it a miss. I got conned.

    - Shopping - not great but Parthas is not bad. Heard that it is Tamil owned.
    Buy a Kerala saree :P

    - Catch a Tamil movie in the cinema

    - Don't miss eating the fish there. Vege food is not as easily available as in TN.

    - Coffee is horrible.

    - Almost everyone speaks/knows Tamil

    Ponmudi is there. Its something close to a hill station.

    Kollam is at a hour travel I guess. Beach, backwaters are there.


    Siva or Ajaybaskar can guide you better than me.

    Thats quite normal in southern south india.

    All the temples I went to had this requirement: Tiruchendur, Kanyakmari, Suchindram....
    Heard that its the same in Guruvayur and Chottaakarani. :P

    The name of the hotel is Magic Days. http://www.magicdays.in/
