the closest (and thus cheapest option) for neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka and Maldives.   The Central railway station is located in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram city, 8 km from the airport. It is a very important terminus which handles over 50 trains daily to almost all major cities in India. Thiruvananthapuram is the first major city from south along the second longest train route in the world, Kanyakumari to Jammu. A second satellite station was opened in 2005 at Kochuveli, near the International Airport.
