The Senkottai-Punalaur section will also offer a shorter route to those going to Thiruvananthapuram from Chennai. Currently, passengers from Chennai go to Thiruvananthapuram either via Coimbatore-Palakkad route or Madurai-Kanyakumari route. This route is important from the traders’ point of view.

The Senkottai-Punalar route will likely attract devotees headed to Sabarimala since it passes through important pilgrim centres like Aryankavu and Achankovil that are part of the 108 Sasthalayas and are a must visit for the devotees.


Kollam is 65 km from Thiruvananthapuram. It also has rail connections to Ernakulam (Kochi) via Alappuzha and Kottayam.
