Often forgotten

  • Checked baggage · About 9 hours of travel each way, airport time included

    Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.

  • Airport transfer · Arriving by air

    The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.

  • Tips and service charges · Any trip

    Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

  • Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip

    Outside the activities line, which budgets what you do, not what you bring home.

A checklist, not a price list: we show an amount only where a named source has published one.

About Kovalam

A beach town on the Arabian Sea south of Thiruvananthapuram, where three coves sit below the red and white Vizhinjam lighthouse and a good deal of the accommodation is Ayurveda rather than ordinary hotels. The residential treatment centres are a short way further down the coast at Chowara, about 9 km on, where a stay is booked as a 14 or 21 night course with a doctor's consultation rather than by the night. Trivandrum airport is the arrival point, roughly 30 to 45 minutes away by road. The monsoon months are the traditional Panchakarma season and the centres stay open through the rain, but November to March is the settled stretch for the beach itself.
