Aruvippuram is situated 24 km to the south east of Thiruvananthapuram, near Neyyattinkara. It is a small but lovely picnic spot. Aruvippuram is the historical location where Sree Narayana Guru spent his early years. A small Siva temple built by Sree Narayana Guru attracts a large number of worshippers during the 'Shivaratri' festival. There is a small stream here and the name of this place is derived from this stream. Aruvippuram Asramam and Aruvippuram Cave are the other nearby attractions.
