Why this place stands out
Veli Tourist Village is a family-friendly lakeside attraction in Thiruvananthapuram where Veli Lake meets the Arabian Sea, offering boating, landscaped gardens, a floating bridge, play areas and coastal views.
Veli Tourist Village is set at the mouth of Veli Lake in Thiruvananthapuram district, where the lagoon approaches the Arabian Sea. The destination is built around a landscaped garden on the southern bank and offers a relaxed mix of boating, walking, play areas and coastal scenery. A floating bridge links the garden side with the beach, while pedal boating, children’s facilities, sculptures and a floating café add to its appeal for families.
Keralam Tourism also highlights a solar-powered miniature train that runs through the grounds and gives visitors another way to enjoy the waterfront setting. The lagoon is separated from the sea by a sandbar, producing the characteristic meeting of backwater and coast that makes Veli visually distinctive. Located close to Thiruvananthapuram city and the airport, Veli is an accessible half-day destination and can be combined with nearby Akkulam for a broader look at the capital region’s lakes and backwaters.
