Lucia Hotel, Park Rajadhani, The Seven Hills, Royal Heritage Hotel - try one of these. All in the city, not near Kovalam. |

| ![]() Trivandrum to Nagercoil road and rail connection has been severed at many places due to fallen trees etc as per news today. Bangalore - Trivandrum buses stopped services at Nagercoil. Train also not moving. |

| ![]() Hi, Is it advisable to start at 11PM from Bangalore? Only one fellow passenger..wife and she also drives. Please suggest. I plan to take the Google route till Nagercoil and then decide on the route again to reach Poovar. Thanks, |

Drive safely and do take breaks in between. Also take turns while driving and do engage each other in discussion while driving so that the driver either you or your spouse remain alert Last edited by suresh_gs : 28th December 2017 at 17:39. | |

| ![]() I am also planning to drive from Bangalore to Trivandrum tomorrow. I want to start at night and reach Trivandrum by morning. However some of my friends here are advising against a night drive owing to recent attacks against night travellers, particularly against KL registered vehicles. I don't know how far these stories doing the rounds are true. Does anyone know about these issues? |

| ![]() I have not heard of any such attack on this route. If you are planning for a night drive then plan to reach Nagercoil by 5-6am so that you can avoid the traffic on the Nagercoil - Trivandrum stretch. |

Thank you Arun for the revert. I might turn to Thenmala route once I reach Madurai as highway expansion is happening in the Nagercoil stretch and there are many diversions in place. |

Thenmala route doesn't have good facilities for a night drive. So, plan your drive accordingly. |

| ![]() Travelling from Trivandrum to Bangalore, there are few diversions after Parassala till Marthandam. The road conditions till Nagercoil in this new road is torturous for a small car or sedan. Narrow roads filled with quite a few crater like potholes. Speed needs to be dropped to almost zero to navigate most of these. Took me 3+ hours to reach Nagercoil on Wednesday 27th, starting from Kaudiar at 6:15 am. |

Two options I noticed (for stopping with family) - 1. Marrybrown complex near to Srivilliputhur (10:30 am to 10:30pm) 2. KTDC Motel Aaram just inside Kerala border at Palaruvi (7am to 9:30pm). Quote:

That's a decent timing. I took almost 7 hours door to door from Trivandrum to Madurai with a half hour breakfast break near Nagercoil. How is the road conditions in the Thenmala route? I've never tried that route and have always taken the painful Nagercoil route. |
