The stay

A slice of real Kerala life, minutes from the city

Yume no Yado (夢の宿) is Japanese for “The Dream Inn”, and the name fits. It's a calm, restful home in Nettayam, one of Thiruvananthapuram's greenest and most tranquil neighbourhoods, away from the tourist crowds.

You get the entire home to yourself: two air-conditioned bedrooms, two private bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi with a dedicated workspace, and free parking on the premises, which is hard to find in this part of the city. Self check-in with a lockbox means you can arrive whenever suits you.

It works well for families, friends travelling together and remote workers. Stay for one night or several weeks. The whole home is ₹2,500 per night, with special discounts for longer stays.

“The house was incredibly comfy and spotless. It had all the amenities mentioned and felt warm and homely. The garden outside too added to the beauty and serenity of the home. It’s worth mentioning that the hosts, especially Mrs. Manjusha, were very cordial and quick to clarify any queries we had. Mr. Prakash also shared several local recommendations with us. Our 1 month stay at Yume No Yado was so comfortable that we will definitely miss this home. Truly a dream inn!”

“… The house is quite spacious and can comfortably accommodate a large family. The price is very competitive compared to city options, making it an excellent value. The airport is only 11 km away, and it takes just 20–25 minutes to reach, which was very convenient as I had to catch a morning flight.”

Grocery stores and family-run Kerala eateries are a short walk away, and the markets of Vattiyoorkavu and Peroorkada are a quick auto ride. Autos, cabs, Uber and Ola are easy to get.

Things to see in and around Trivandrum

From temples and palaces in the old city to golden beaches, backwaters and misty hills, Yume no Yado is a quiet base for exploring southern Kerala. Ask us for directions, local food tips or a trusted taxi driver.

🏛️ In the city

🛕~12 km · 35 min

Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple

The temple the city is named after, with a towering seven-tiered gopuram and the famous reclining image of Lord Vishnu. One of the most important temples in Kerala.

Tip: Only Hindus may enter, and there is a strict dress code: mundu/dhoti for men (no shirt), saree or long skirt for women. Dhotis can be hired near the entrance.

🐎Next to the temple

Kuthira Malika Palace Museum

A palace built by Maharaja Swathi Thirunal in traditional Kerala style. Its eaves are supported by 122 carved wooden horses, which give it its name. Inside are royal Travancore treasures.

Tip: Closed on Mondays. Usually open mornings and afternoons, with a lunch break.

🖼️~8 km · 25 min

Napier Museum, Art Gallery & Zoo

A striking 19th-century museum of bronzes, jewellery and ivory carvings. The Sree Chitra Art Gallery holds paintings by Raja Ravi Varma, and the zoo is in the same leafy park.

Tip: Closed on Mondays. Go in the morning, when it's cooler and the animals are more active.

🛍️~11 km · 30 min

East Fort & Chalai Market

The bustling old-city bazaar next to the temple, good for spices, banana chips, brass lamps and saris. In the evening, try snacks and tea from the stalls around Kizhakkekotta (East Fort).

Tip: Go in the late afternoon to shop, then stay for evening snacks.

🧜~16 km · 40 min

Shangumugham Beach

The city's favourite beach for sunsets, home to a giant reclining mermaid sculpture. It's close to the airport, so it works well before an evening flight.

Tip: Best at sunset. The sea is rough, so it isn't safe for swimming.

🚣~16 km · 40 min

Veli Tourist Village

A park where Veli Lake meets the Arabian Sea, with pedal boats, a floating bridge, sculptures and gardens. Families with children enjoy it.

Tip: Open roughly 9 AM–6 PM. Late afternoon is pleasant.

🏖️ Beaches & backwaters

🌊~20 km · 45 min

Kovalam Beach

Kerala's best-known beach town: three crescent beaches (Lighthouse, Hawa and Samudra) with seafood restaurants and Ayurvedic massage. Climb the red-and-white lighthouse for the view.

Tip: Best from September to May. Swim only where lifeguards are on duty.

⛵~24 km · 50 min

Vizhinjam

A colourful fishing harbour just south of Kovalam, with an ancient rock-cut cave temple. Combine it with a Kovalam visit.

Tip: Come early in the morning to see the boats come in with the day's catch.

🛶~35 km · 1 hr

Poovar Backwaters

Take a boat through mangrove-lined backwaters to the golden sandbar where the Neyyar River meets the sea. This is a classic Kerala backwater experience close to the city.

Tip: Boats leave from the jetties at Poovar. Mornings are calmer and cooler.

🌅~50 km · 1.5 hr

Varkala Cliff

Dramatic red laterite cliffs above Papanasam Beach, lined with cafés and shops. Nearby is the ancient Janardhana Swamy Temple.

Tip: Stay for the sunset from the North Cliff walkway.

⛰️ Hills, dams & nature

💧Closest · ~8 km

Aruvikkara Dam

A small, peaceful reservoir and riverside temple just a short drive from the house. It's a quiet spot for a morning walk or an evening outing.

Tip: A nice short outing when you have an hour or two to spare.

🐊~25 km · 50 min

Neyyar Dam & Wildlife Sanctuary

A large reservoir framed by the Western Ghats, with boating and a crocodile rehabilitation centre. The Kappukadu elephant rehabilitation centre is nearby.

Tip: Arrive by 10 AM. The elephant centre is closed on Mondays.

🍃~50 km · 1.5–2 hr

Ponmudi Hill Station

A cool, misty hill station reached by a scenic road with 22 hairpin bends through forest and tea estates. You can see Golden Valley, waterfalls, viewpoints and trekking trails.

Tip: Best from November to February. Carry a light jacket. The road may close in heavy rain.

🚗 Day trips

🦅~55 km · 1.5 hr

Jatayu Earth's Center

A giant sculpture of the mythical bird Jatayu from the Ramayana, set on a rocky hilltop. A cable car takes you to the top, where there are wide views and adventure activities.

Tip: Book tickets online in advance, especially on weekends.

🏯~65 km · 1.5–2 hr

Padmanabhapuram Palace

The former seat of the Travancore kings, a 400-year-old masterpiece of Kerala woodwork with carved ceilings and polished floors. It's just across the border in Tamil Nadu.

Tip: Closed on Mondays. Combine it with Kanyakumari for a full day out.

🌄~100 km · 2.5–3 hr

Kanyakumari

The southern tip of India, where three seas meet. See the sunrise, take the ferry to the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the Thiruvalluvar Statue, and visit the Kumari Amman Temple.

Tip: Leave very early to catch the sunrise, or go for the sunset.
