Ponmudi is the nearest hill station to Thiruvananthapuram, about two hours up a winding road. One day of viewpoints is the plan. We usually pair it with Thenmala rather than treating it as a stay of its own.
- A day from the capital, or one night if the road is the point
- Pairs with Thenmala on a three-day south Kerala trip
- Mist is common; a clear morning is the reason to go
