Travelling tips to Poovar
Of Palms and Sand, and Water Everywhere
Poovar is about 30 Kms from Trivandrum, which is both, the nearest Airport as well as Railway Station. The nearest town is Poovar Town which is on the mainland. The island is about 2 Kms away, but has to be reached by a 20 minutes boat ride from the Poovar Jetty. Plenty of Kerala Transport buses are available from Trivandrum to Poovar. Cars/Taxis charge about Rs.1000/- for the journey, while autos charge about Rs.250/-. THere are 3 resorts on Poovar Island - 1. The Poovar Island Resort 2. Isola de Coco 3. Estuary Island Resort All the 3 resorts have their own boat services from the Jetty. If you have a reservation at the resort, the boat rides are free. Even if you do not have a reservation, you can go to the resort for a meal or a day trip, and use the boat services to the resort for a fee.

Poovar island nice quiet holiday
What we did was that we had prior booking in a resort. The resort people only sent a boat to fetch us from the mainland as poovar is an island so last connecting journey is through backwaters.
