If you are a middle class person and believe that holidays are not meant for you as it would be too expensive for your budget.

During high tides an estuary links the island of Poovar to the sea. It is close to the harbour of Vizhinjam. It is a network of lagoons, lakes, canals, deltas, estuaries and it intersperse forty-four rivers that join the Arabian Sea. Poovar is located at a distance of thirty-eight kilometres from the state kilometre and a fifteen minute boat ride away from Thiruvanathpuram.

    Holidaying for the middle class person is unimaginable. It is hard to find time from the busy office schedule and if you manage to find time, then the family front beckons you. Fulfilling the demands of your family drains all your finances so dreaming of a holiday is impossible. Thanks to Club Mahindra’s time share holiday concept you can dream of holidaying at low EMIs. I got the membership, when I was roaming at a Mall and a college kid approached me. He asked me for my name and number, then I got a call from the club Mahindra time share holidays. They offered us holidays at low EMIs at any of their 42 destinations in India and abroad. I choose to visit Poovar through their holidays this time.

    The club Mahindra resort is located 32 kilometres away from Trivandrum airport. The travel between the airport and the island is very beautiful. I booked one of the floating cottages. It is simply mind blowing. Everything about this holiday was good. The food was cooked in coconut gravy and was quite delicious. The rooms were comfortable. The Ayurvedic massage at their spa is very relaxing and is definitely worth a try. This was one of my best holidays. It is worth a visit and for me my money was well-spent.
