Once you've got to know Chemmaruthy, why not explore a bit more of the region? The Kerala vicinity has plenty of other things to offer tourists. Kerala is marked by beaches, coastal plains, forests and canals, as well as common Kerala tourist sights like the traditional villages and old towns. Active types may also enjoy mountain biking and mountain climbing here.

5 kilometres from Chemmaruthy you will find Varkala, where you can spend the day enjoying the Varkala Beach, Janardanaswamy Temple and Kappil Beach. Should you wish to spend a night or two in Varkala, check out the Palm Tree Heritage and Magnolia Guest House. Alternatively, you could stay in Thiruvananthapuram, 35 kilometres to the southeast of Chemmaruthy, where you'll find the Maurya Rajadhani and KTDC Mascot Hotel Thiruvananthapuram. If you're staying in Thiruvananthapuram, be sure to visit the Technopark, Shri Padmanabhaswamy Temple and Napier Museum.

Just because you are far from home, doesn't mean you can't enjoy your love of sport. You will find Nagambadam Stadium 95 kilometres to the north of Chemmaruthy. The Backwater Retreat - Honeymoon House and the Windsor Castle are near all the action.

Travellers arriving or departing via Trivandrum International Airport may like to book a bed at the Maurya Rajadhani or the KTDC Mascot Hotel Thiruvananthapuram, both of which are close.
