[edit] Thiruvallam

Thiruvallam, 8-km north of Kovalam, is the place where Killi and Karamana rivers embrace each other. Thiruvallam Boat Club arranges boat ride to Karamana and back, costing Rs 300.

Nearby, there is a quiet beach called Pozhikkara beach where Parvathy Puthanaar river and Karamana river succumb to the sea.

Kerala has only one temple dedicated to the legendary creator of Kerala, Parasurama, which is located near here. The devotees and others throng to this shrine. Here the main festival is Arattu in the month of Thulam (Oactober-November). Vavu Bali is also conducted in Karkidakam (July-August) when large number of Hindus gathers to perform rites for the departed souls of dear and near ones.
