By now, you all must be knowing that we love exploring offbeat places and less touristy destinations. We yet again explored one of such beautiful destination located in the state of Kerala – Poovar.

Poovar is a beautiful village involved by a lovely beach on one side and the backwaters on the other and is very popular for its picturesque beauty. It is located at the southern tip of Trivandrum and is the only village that trails the end of Kerala. Located at the entrance of Neyyar River, this tourist spot is inhabited mainly by the fishing community and is an unspoilt tourist destination with exotic flora and fauna.

Kerala is a beautiful state with plenty of tourist attraction to explore and celebrate the charm of nature, however, Poovar is still untouched yet charming backwater destination other than famous Alleppey and Kumarakom in Kerala.

 

 

Even though this island is blessed with natural beauty, you may not find many activities to do here other than boating, bird watching, fishing, visiting local villages or just playing indoor games and relaxing in the pool or in the spa. So, if you are looking for a relaxed vacation with your loved ones, then Poovar is the best choice of you.
