It will give you a glimpse of Kerala's past which is a symbol of honor and glory. The museum holds exquisite items and artifacts that once belonged to the Travancore royal family.

Lighthouse Beach

The Lighthouse Beach beach is rightly named after the Kovalam Lighthouse which overlooks its ivory white sands and turquoise waters of the Lakshadweep Sea. Lined with palm trees and always breezy, the Lighthouse Beach comes recommended during summers and monsoons alike. If you are here when the sun is shining brightly, head out into the deep blue and frolic in the waves. Rains are best enjoyed at the coast at one of the many shacks serving piping hot seafood. A number of water sports are carried out at the beach, of which paragliding comes most recommended if you wish to soak in an amazing view of the beach town. Those here with someone special, they can skip the day time and head out to the Lighthouse Beach to see the sun go down.

Napier Museum

Named after the former Madras governor Lord Napier, this museum is a 19th-Century marvel with an Indo- Saracenic style that was constructed under the supervision of the architect, Chisholm. Built during the reign of the Travancore dynasty, Napier Museum displays fine art works and rare archaeological artifacts that include ancient ivory carvings. Other exhibits include stone carvings, antique jewelry, and ornaments. Also within the same museum compound is an art gallery and a zoo, which are worth a visit. One of the city's most fascinating landmarks, this museum is a treat for history buffs.

Thiruvananthapuram Zoo

Thiruvananthapuram Zoo was established in 1857 by the King of Travancore to attract tourists. Spread across 22 hectares (55 acres) that cover picturesque dense forests and lakes, the zoo has several species of animals not only from India but also from other countries. A renovation in 1995 led to the zoo's modernization, and what was once an animal park used for recreation has now acquired the role of a conservation center for endangered species. Animals are now kept inside enclosures in a more naturalistic set up. Species of animals inside this well-maintained habitat include the royal Bengal Tiger, Asiatic lion, One-Horned Great Indian Rhino, Nilgiri langur, poisonous and non-poisonous snakes, along with African hippos, giraffes, and Cape buffaloes. Considered to be one of the oldest in India, the zoo is a recommended tourist destination.
