Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before booking this package.
What is the best time to visit Kovalam, Trivandrum and Poovar?
October to March is ideal with clear skies and calm seas. Monsoon (June–August) is best avoided for beach activities but suits Ayurveda retreats.
How do we reach Trivandrum?
Trivandrum has an international airport with direct flights from most Indian metros, and is well connected by trains. We start the trip on your arrival at Trivandrum airport / railway station.
Is the Poovar resort accessible only by boat?
Yes — most Poovar island / floating resorts are reached by a short scenic boat transfer, which is included in the package.
Can we add Kanyakumari or Varkala to this trip?
Absolutely. Kanyakumari, Varkala Cliff and Kollam backwaters are all easy add-ons. Share your dates and we'll customise the itinerary.
