Unending flocks of tourists have ensured that Kovalam remains a bit out of the reach of the budget traveller. However, it’s not impossible to enjoy a pocket-friendly holiday here. For starters, you may want to drop by during the off period {during the monsoon} where the influx of visitors is lesser. There are a few homestays and budget hotels here {like Aparna Guest House} where you’ll have to shell out a little over INR 2,000 for a night. To ensure maximum savings, spend your day sunning on the beaches while taking in a quick meal at the beachside shacks.
