Places To Visit on Weekends @ TCS ILP Trivandrum

Hi friends,  Here are some weekend trip suggestions based on my TCS ILP experience:

1. Kovallam Beach : This place is best for 1st weekend. You can get a direct public bus from TCS office (Technopark). It will take around 60-70 minutes to reach there.

2. Ponmudi Hill Station : Ponmudi is little bit far from TCS office. Ponmudi is a hill station. So you can't take public transport, You have to book a bus and the trip will take whole day. The place is awesome and a highly recommended tourist place.

3. Verkala Cliff Beach: You can take public transport. This place is around 36 km from TCS office. Place is awesome, also called as Mini Goa. Book a hotel, stay there at night, Sea looks great at full moon from the cliff. Our learning group visited Verkala total six times during our ILP. Best place to celebrate Christmas, new year.

4. Munnar : You may need an extended weekend to visit Munnar. It takes 9 to 10 hours journey from TCS office (Technopark). You need to book a bus. Munnar trip will be most costly trip of all, so plan this after getting salary. You will get there hand made chocolates. Also be aware of leeches, there are lot of leeches in hilly areas. At our Munnar trip, me and my roommate were the victims of leeches. So don't forget to wear shoes while visiting hilly areas.

5. Sri Padmnatham Swami Temple : This temple is 17 km from TCS office (Technopark). Awesome place, you have to wear 'Lungi' only to enter the temple premises. Be prepare for that in advance. You can take 'Lingi' for rent outside the temple. There is a museum near the temple.

Apart from these places you can also visit Kanyakumari, Rameshwaram, Pover beach, Allapy.
