The Museum complex is the most popular place for joggers in Trivandrum. Walkers and joggers flock to Museum compound to absorb the beauty of the area, as they get their physical exercise. The place offers a smooth tarred circular track which is around 800m. If that’s too much, you can use the smaller pathway around the Napier museum. The whole circuit is covered with trees which protect you from the morning sun. \u00a0You can start your walk as early as from 4am in the morning and closing time is around 9:30pm. On the downside, the whole area gets so crowded with walkers at times.<\/p>\n
#2. Kanakakkunnu Palace Grounds<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Kanakakunnu](\"http:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2016\/03\/Kanakakunnu-Palace.jpg\")
Kanakakunnu Palace<\/p><\/div>\n
Kanakakkunnu Palace Grounds offers a much less crowded than the Museum compound. However, it doesn\u2019t have a continuous jogging track like its neighbour. Since the place is on the top of a hill, there are several levels of terrain in which you can jog. There are so many steps and slopes especially near the Sooryakanthi Auditorium while walking at Kanakakkunnu Palace grounds. You can also use the outer ring road of the compound. The only downside is that Kanakakkunnu is poorly lit during the night and can be very lonely, so you can only use it during the day.<\/p>\n
#3. Shanghumugham Beach<\/h2>\n
![\"Rs.5](\"http:\/\/entecity.com\/news\/files\/2015\/12\/shangumukham-beach.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Shanghumugham beach trail is an open opportunity for runners of all kinds. It is a wonderful place to have your early morning run or walk. The footing is pretty good because the sand offers a cushion for your stride and some resistance for strength building and help to burn those extra calories. If you don\u2019t like the idea of running through the sand you can always use the tarmac road or the footpath. We recommend you to always start early because once the sun comes out to play you will roast from exhaustion. So whether you prefer a long walk or scenic running, this beach-front trail is just downright entertaining. The only negative side of Shanghumugham Beach is that it can be little far away from your home.<\/p>\n

The campus of the Kerala Water Authority in Vellayambalam offers a good place for runners and walkers. You can use the road inside the KWA campus for your daily exercise.

The outer line of the ground is covered in trees so that is an added bonus. You can also walk through the Medical College Campus but it is often crowded with vehicles and people visiting Medical College.<\/p>\n

No wonder why it\u2019s becoming a popular destination for walkers and fitness enthusiasts. You can start either from the main entrance or from the side entrance at Chakka. The large parking lot of the Terminal-2 offers the best place to stretch your muscle and to do light workouts. Be careful as there is a constant flow of vehicle in and out of the airport. On the downside, there are no trees so it\u2019s better to start your walk very early in the morning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Another popular destination among walkers in the city is the Poojappura ground and the Bhagat Singh Memorial park adjacent to Poojappura Saraswathi Mandapam. Many Trivandrumites come here for a morning walk or to do their exercise. Like the Medical College ground the Poojappura ground and the park is also used by people indulging in sports.

Towards Vijayamohini Mills<\/p><\/div>\n
The road going through the military camp from Pangode to Thirumala and Poojappura is a unique attraction only Trivandrum has. The entire stretch is pedestrian friendly with a paved footpath on either side of the road. Thanks to big trees along the stretch you will never get exhausted from the hot sun. Plus there is always a cool breeze which is a blessing during walking. In the winter season, you may even encounter foggy mist. The area is well maintained, beautified and acts as a breathing lungs for the city. There are no garbage dumps and the air quality is superb.<\/p>\n
#7. Medical College ground<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
The Medical college ground is a famous sports destination in the city and at the same time, it is a walker\u2019s paradise. Even though the ground is large, you will find that it is always occupied by football and cricket players. So it is safe to walk on the outer line of the ground. The outer line of the ground is covered in trees so that is an added bonus. You can also walk through the Medical College Campus but it is often crowded with vehicles and people visiting Medical College.<\/p>\n
#8. Kowdiar-Museum Footpath<\/span><\/h2>\nKowdiar<\/p><\/div>\n
Did you know Trivandrum has one of best pedestrian-friendly footpaths in the country which is on par with the global standard? And one of the best stretches is the Museum-Kowdiar stretch. Here the footpaths are wide and paved with tiles. The footpath is not undulating and always maintain the same level. That’s not all! With landscaping on both sides and the big beautiful trees which provide shade, this stretch is perfect for a morning walk. This is not the only road. Most of the roads developed by TRDCL are ideal for walking.<\/p>\n
#9. Trivandrum International Airport<\/h2>\nPhoto: Scorpiogenius<\/p><\/div>\n
You might be surprised to hear that people actually use Trivandrum international Airport Terminal-2 for walking. The parking area and the approach ramp of the Terminal 2 are ideal for a morning walk. No wonder why it\u2019s becoming a popular destination for walkers and fitness enthusiasts. You can start either from the main entrance or from the side entrance at Chakka. The large parking lot of the Terminal-2 offers the best place to stretch your muscle and to do light workouts. Be careful as there is a constant flow of vehicle in and out of the airport. On the downside, there are no trees so it\u2019s better to start your walk very early in the morning.<\/p>\n
#10. Poojappura Ground<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Another popular destination among walkers in the city is the Poojappura ground and the Bhagat Singh Memorial park adjacent to Poojappura Saraswathi Mandapam. Many Trivandrumites come here for a morning walk or to do their exercise. Like the Medical College ground the Poojappura ground and the park is also used by people indulging in sports. Plus the place is often used by driving schools. So you have to stick to the outer limits of the ground and the park.
