"Kovalam in monsoon"

Kovalam Experience: Its a must visit for people who love the sea. The waters are transparent sea green, and the sea is pretty calmer compared to Goa or Pondichery. The beach also is flatter and one can go quite a long way into the sea because it isn't too deep.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Coastal and continental food is popular and easily available. There are numerous eateries along the Hawaa beach or light house beach, open from 9am to 11pm. nearby places - Ponmudi hills, Neyar Dam lake & lion reserve, Poovar back water

Activities & things to do: NA

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: best way to go from Bangalore is to take a train or a flight to Trivandram. from there you need to take an auto or taxi to the beach side where the hotels are located. for sight seeing you need to hire taxis - check out multiple travel agencies to get a good bargain for day trips or overnight trips
