Kingdom of Gods trail

Trivandrum. The Endless City; Home to the royalty of Travancore; The Fabled City of Gold.

Powerful queens and pious saints, haunted forts and blessed ponds, ghosts and ghastly nobles, great victory and despicable betrayal – it’s all a part of the glorious history of Trivandrum.

A city that dates back to many centuries before Christ, Trivandrum has many stories to tell. Take a walk with Storytrails and learn of the hidden histories, wondrous fables and strange truths that make up this hallowed city.

How did the Padhmanabhaswamy temple come to be? Why were the Travancore kings’ consorts never called queens? What treachery caused the western gates of the fort to be haunted? How did a local king defeat the famed Dutch armada?

We’ll explore all this and more on the Kingdom of Gods trail.

Kingdom of Gods trail

An interesting way to see a city. We did storytrails in Trivandrum. It was interesting to see the back lanes and more hidden places and then hear the amazing legends and mysteries connected to them. It was more fun than your usual guided tour. Our guide was a good story teller, friendly and well informed. It was also o.k. for our 7 year old son….

Fantastic tour! I have done Storytrails in Chennai and also loved it—they really aim to do a different sort of tour and they achieve this indeed! I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Loved this! I had not expected to find such a treat when visiting Trivandrum. Forget picking up a guide book, you won’t find any of the ‘true’ history of Trivandrum in there! Informative whilst fun, excellent locations, perfectly paced. A must to any visitor to (and inhabitant of!) Trivandrum ☺ I can’t wait to join some of their other storytrails……
