Akkulam

Akkulam is a recreational area in Thiruvananthapuram centered around a large lake surrounded by mangrove forests. The site features multiple amenities including an aviation museum, water sports facilities, and spaces for observing local wildlife.

The area has been gradually developed over recent decades from a natural lakeside into an organized recreational park. This transformation gave local residents and visitors access to leisure and educational facilities.

The Air Force Museum within Akkulam Tourist Village presents aviation exhibits and simulators that demonstrate Indian military heritage and technology.

The location is easily accessible by airport or multiple railway stations within the city. Visitors should plan around local weather patterns and bring protection from sun and moisture, as the region experiences typical tropical conditions.

An aviation museum on the grounds displays military aircraft and interactive flight simulators rarely found outside major cities. This specialized facility stands out as an unexpected addition to a nature-based recreational area.
