Around Kovalam

10-km south of Chowara there is a fishing village called Poovar. This beautiful village is close to Neyyar river (Poovar Puzha in local language), the backwaters and the sea. Be in Poovar, to be in river, to be in backwaters, to be in sea. Three catches in one stroke.

Poovar Island Resort, a resort in island, offers floating cottages, restaurants and Ayurvedic treatments. To reach the resort 10-minute boat cruise in the river is the only option.

Pachalloor is another pretty village that is sandwiched between the lagoon and nearby highway with appealing places to stay, which offer backwater trips and yoga classes.

Pozhikkara beach is just thirty minutes walk from Kovalam; nonetheless it is a planet away from the high profile holiday culture of Kovalam. Here the sands are used mainly for landing fish and fixing nets and is comparatively quieter.
