Thiruvallam Backwaters – Thiruvananthapuram
Thiruvallam is about six km south of the Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) city. It endows an excursion on the Thiruvallam Backwaters. A pleasure trip in a narrow boat which cruises through the shades of trees, listening to the music of sweet singing birds, the cool breeze and the ballads hummed by the village women is the most enthusiastic sight which you will never get from anywhere else.
This majestic backwater is at the union of two rivers, Killi and Karamana. The natural elegance is enhanced by these two rivers. The main tourist attraction apart from the backwater tour is the ancient temple which is dedicated to Parashurama on the banks of Karamana River. A shrine of Parashurama built with granite can be seen in this temple.
