PG in Kowdiar, Trivandrum

Kowdiar is one of Trivandrum's oldest upscale neighbourhoods, built up around Kowdiar Palace, the residence of the former Travancore royal family. Raj Bhavan and the Trivandrum Golf Club are close by, and the roads are lined with large houses, apartment blocks and plenty of greenery. PGs are fewer here than in student areas and tend to be smaller, home-style setups in residential buildings. It suits professionals who want a calm, respectable address and do not mind paying a little more for it.

Why choose a PG in Kowdiar?

• Calm, green streets that feel far removed from the bustle of Thampanoor or East Fort.
• Museum, Vellayambalam and Pattom are close, so the city centre stays within a short ride.
• A sensible pick for working women and professionals who prioritise a settled residential neighbourhood.
• Supermarkets, cafés and clinics around Kowdiar Square cover everyday needs.
