Lighthouse Beach
The largest and liveliest of Kovalam's three beaches, and the one most visitors picture. Lighthouse beach kovalam takes its name from the Vizhinjam Lighthouse on the Kurumkal hillock at its southern end, which visitors can climb during set hours for a sweeping view of the coastline. The promenade is lined with cafes, seafood restaurants and shops, and lifeguards mark the safe swimming zones with flags.

The promenade is lined with cafes, seafood restaurants and shops, and lifeguards mark the safe swimming zones with flags.
Hawa Beach
Separated from Lighthouse Beach by a rocky promontory, Hawa Beach is smaller and was once famous as Eve's Beach. It is popular for early morning walks, when fishermen haul in their nets, and for watching the sunset from the rocks. The waters here are usually gentler, making it good for a relaxed swim in season.
Samudra Beach
The northernmost of the three, Samudra Beach is quieter and home to several upmarket resorts. It is where you see the traditional fishing community at work, with catamarans and colourful boats pulled up on the sand. A good choice for travellers who want the Kovalam coastline without the crowds.
Vizhinjam Rock-Cut Cave Temple and Harbour
Vizhinjam, just south of Kovalam, was an important port of the ancient Ay kingdom. Its small rock-cut cave temple, dating to around the eighth century, holds a carved image of Vinadhara Dakshinamurthy and unfinished reliefs of Shiva and Parvati, and is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. The busy fishing harbour nearby is lively in the mornings, and the area now also hosts the Vizhinjam International Seaport.
Aazhimala Shiva Temple
About 10 kilometres south, this clifftop temple overlooks the Arabian Sea and is known for its 58 foot Gangadhareshwara statue of Lord Shiva, one of the largest of its kind in Kerala. The setting on the rocks, with waves breaking below, makes it a striking stop, particularly in the late afternoon.
Kerala Arts and Crafts Village, Vellar
A short drive from Kovalam, this government-run craft village showcases Kerala's handicrafts, from coir and bamboo work to handlooms, bell metal, paintings and wood carving. Visitors can watch artisans at work in their studios and buy directly from them. It is an excellent rainy-day option and a good place for authentic souvenirs.
Poovar Island
Around 16 kilometres south, Poovar sits where the Neyyar river meets the Arabian Sea. Boat rides take you through mangrove-lined backwaters to a golden sand bar between the river and the sea, with floating cottages along the way. It offers a taste of Kerala's backwaters without travelling to Alleppey.
Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple
Sixteen kilometres north in Thiruvananthapuram, this is one of the most important Vishnu temples in India, with the deity shown reclining on the serpent Anantha. The temple follows a strict dress code: men must wear a dhoti without a shirt and women a saree or mundu, and entry is restricted to Hindus. The towering gopuram and the surrounding fort area are worth an unhurried visit.
Napier Museum and Thiruvananthapuram Zoo
Also in the capital, the Napier Museum is a nineteenth century building with a distinctive Kerala-inspired Indo-Saracenic design, housing bronzes, ivory carvings and temple chariots. It shares grounds with the zoo and the Sree Chitra Art Gallery, which holds works by Raja Ravi Varma. The complex is closed on Mondays, so plan accordingly.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Little England of Tamil Nadu
The route starts down Hosur Road past Silk Board and Electronic City, crossing into Tamil Nadu at the Attibele check post, where the first interstate permit is checked. Leaving before 6:00 AM keeps this stretch under an hour. Hosur is the "Little England of Tamil Nadu", a name given for its cool climate in British times. Today it is an industrial hub and a major rose-growing area that exports cut flowers across the world. Elapsed time: about 50 minutes.
Steel City of Tamil Nadu
A fast four-lane run past Dharmapuri, the turnoff for Hogenakkal Falls, and down the short Thoppur Ghat. Salem is the "Steel City of Tamil Nadu", home to the Salem Steel Plant, and the gateway to the Yercaud hill station. The highway bypasses the city, and there are good rest stops on the outskirts for a tea break. Elapsed time: about 3 hours 45 minutes.
Temple City
Madurai is the "Temple City" and "Thoonga Nagaram, the City That Never Sleeps", one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in India. Arriving by mid-afternoon leaves time for the Meenakshi Amman Temple, with its towering gopurams and the Hall of Thousand Pillars, and the Thirumalai Nayak Palace. Stopping here turns a gruelling single-day drive into a comfortable two-day journey. Elapsed time on day one: about 8 hours.
Gateway to Kanyakumari
The road passes through the Aralvaimozhi gap, where the Muppandal wind farm spreads thousands of turbines across the landscape — one of the largest onshore wind installations in Asia. Nagercoil is the "Gateway to Kanyakumari", just 20 kilometres from India's southern tip, and takes its name from the ancient Nagaraja Temple dedicated to the serpent god. Many travellers add a Kanyakumari detour here. Elapsed time: about 4 hours.
Crescent Beach Paradise of Kerala
Balaramapuram is the "Handloom Village of Kerala", where weavers produce the GI-tagged Balaramapuram handloom sarees and the classic cream and gold kasavu mundu. Its weaving streets are worth a short stop for shopping. From here a short drive leads to Kovalam, the "Crescent Beach Paradise of Kerala", where your driver drops you at your resort or takes you straight to Lighthouse Beach for the sunset. Elapsed time on day two: about 6 hours.
Five to seven days covering Kovalam's beaches, Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Poovar and Varkala, with an overnight in Kochi on the way. The 13 seater urbania rent bangalore option has room for a week of luggage.
For groups booking a kovalam ayurveda resort stay, with the Urbania available for day outings between treatments and a relaxed return schedule.

Easy Booking Options
Simple reservations for regional and outstation trips.
The bangalore to kovalam distance is about 750 to 770 kilometres via Salem, Coimbatore, Kochi and the Kerala coast, around 15 to 17 hours of driving. We plan it over two days with an overnight halt in Kochi or Thrissur.
Urbania hire starts from Rs 40 per km, and the final urbania rent per km bangalore rate depends on the seating variant and number of days. The fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance. Toll, parking, Tamil Nadu and Kerala interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra, billed garage to garage.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking and holds the Urbania for your dates. For peak holiday dates, a higher advance may be requested.
Yes. The route crosses Tamil Nadu and Kerala, so both permits are required and billed at actuals. We arrange them before departure; they are checked at Attibele and Walayar.
The Kochi route is the most popular because it breaks naturally at Kochi and passes Alappuzha and Kollam. The Nagercoil route via Madurai is mostly four-lane and suits groups also visiting Kanyakumari. The driver confirms the best option before departure.
Swimming is safe only in the flagged zones watched by lifeguards, mainly at Lighthouse and Hawa beaches. The sea can be rough during the monsoon, when swimming is often restricted. Always follow the lifeguards' instructions.
Plan five to seven days: two for driving, and three to five for Kovalam, Thiruvananthapuram, Poovar and Varkala. A kovalam trip from bangalore can also include Kanyakumari, about 90 kilometres away.
Yes. The same vehicle and driver stay with you throughout. Share your day-wise plan and we quote the whole trip, including driver night halts, in one written number.
Our Force Urbania fleet covers 13 to 17 seater configurations, with cars, tempo travellers, mini buses and 27 to 50 seater buses for other group sizes. Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services.
Cancelling more than 72 hours ahead is free with a full refund in 5 to 7 working days; charges rise to 10, 25 and 50 percent as departure nears, and multi-day bookings need 5 days notice for a full refund. Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance, so passengers are advised to arrange their own. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773.
