Edayar Island

Is in the truest sense a get away for holiday makers, peace seekers and tired nerves.No concrete buildings, and absolutely no blaring of horns of vehicles - just pure salubrious fresh air and silence. The tea stalls, reminiscent of rural Kerala, dots the island. The island, spread over two square kilometres in length and a width of half-a-kilometre, is complete with a temple, "kavu" and church. The festivals at these places of worship can also be witnessed by the tourist. For the spiritually bend, the ancient Parasurama temple situated on the bank of Karamana river at Thiruvallom can be an attraction. Edayar is just a five minute walk from Thiruvallom near the Trivandrum-Kovalam bypass. Visitors can either ferry to the island or can opt to use the narrow iron bridge near Thiruvallom to walk into the island.

This island is situated in Poonthura village in Trivandrum. In this place you get nice view of the sunset. And it's a peaceful place where you can spend time in the evening. This is one the place where sea and the river meets together thus makes the place so calm and beautiful.

Small island before kovalam. Calm and quite. Visited a resort in the same place.

Wonderful unspoiled landscape. Afraid of West side boundary with rough Sea is dredging the land heavily. Govt needs to consider making a proper seawall.

Good Ambiance & Beautiful place
