Can anyone tell me how easy it is to fly from Madurai to Trivandrum?
Are there regular flights, and what do they cost?
What about the train? How long is the journey?
Any advice will be very welcome.
Cheers
theres no direct flight from madurai to TVM.but u can come to TIRUCHY
and fly to TVM fare roughly 3K.one hr journey.(2,4,6,7).
But train goes directly to TVM thro' an overnight journey.
fare app 3h but requires advance reservation for getting a berth in sleeper
class. hastle free is Super Deluxe DVD COACHES.
Trains are comfortable in India in many places (for short distances) because of the need to check-in early in flights, travel to airport etc.
You can visit the below site to know about Train schedule and fares. Online booking also available (inside India).

I also find 3 trains that go from Madurai to TVM from below link.

Roughly it takes 8 hours. Train costs vary between 2 class, 3-tier AC, 2-tier AC etc.
Thanks chaps, It looks like the train will be the easiest option.
Warmest wishes

Dear friend,
There is no more flight service from Madurai to Trivandram. You can fly Madurai - Chennai - Trivandram
Alternatively you can go by road (Bus, or trian)
I feel that, by road is a good choice.
Have a nice trip
Good luck
Bye

In Madurai, you can find buch of tour operator offering daily tour of Madurai, as well as excursion to Kannyakumari, Rameswaram and Kodaikanal.
All of those places can be visited from Madurai in one day. If you don't want to get around on your own, it's great way to see places.
The temple is a fascinating place to hang out and watch worshippers ~ the puja rituals are interesting and some of the temple seems to serve as a social hub, with people chatting and catching up.
There are some other interesting corners to explore ~ including multiple elephants (one which "blesses" you after you offer your rupee note). I'm not sure exactly what the elephant in the photo did to earn his keep. . .
As we enter a small local temple , the decoration of the gods tells us a very special ceremony is going on. A young couple is celebrating their wedding. I don’t know if this marriage was an arranged marriage as most are still here.
The traditional way is that the families search for suitable matches with the help of relatives and friends. There was a time when the bride's family was required to present a dowry to the groom and his family. This originally was probably paid in the form of land or cattle, more recently it has involved money and goods such as televisions, refrigerators and even motor-scooters. This custom became very expensive for the parents of girls. And, in some cases, even led to the killing of girl children. In more recent times it has led to men claiming that their wives have met with a terrible accident when, in fact, the husband killed the wife in order to get a new wife with a new dowry. Such abuses have led to the outlawing of the dowry. However, especially in villages the payment of dowry still seems to be one of the rules of the marriage game.
This isn't really an off-the-beaten path tip, but it felt like a good spot to place this photo. . .it captures a bit of what I love about India. As tough as it can sometimes be, it is filled with these little scenes that capture my attention ~ the old and the new, the cursive beauty of the Tamil script and the English misspellings. . .and cows. . .everywhere cows. :-)
Opposite the southern gate there is an under ground stone pillared huge area . there are people who specializes in iron casting, brass workers and metal workers .From here you can buy cooking utensils lamps and brass curios
