The larger Thiruvananthapuram metropolitan area has over 1.7 million inhabitants within an area of 543 km2, making it the second-most populous metropolitan area in Kerala after Kochi.. Thiruvananthapuram is one of the few cities in India that serves as a state capital and is also centre for heritage, maritime activities, information technology, research and development, space research, defence, automotive technology, and biosciences. It is also among the few cities in the world where both an international airport and an international seaport are located within the city in close proximity to the city centre.

Located in the southern state of Kerala, Trivandrum is a city that has something to offer everyone. From its beautiful beaches to its lush green hills, there's no shortage of natural beauty to explore here. You can take a stroll along the famous Kovalam Beach, or head to the nearby Varkala Beach for a more secluded experience.

But Trivandrum isn't just about the great outdoors. The city is also home to some of the most magnificent temples and historical sites in India. The Padmanabhaswamy Temple, one of the largest Hindu temples in the world, is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture. The temple is known for its intricate carvings and stunning murals, and it's a great place to learn about the rich cultural heritage of Kerala.
