context_page_description: Puthenthope is a coastal village in Thiruvananthapuram district in Kerala, India, and situated 19 km northwest of city centre, 16 km from Trivandrum International Airport. The village is mostly covered with coconut palms and cashew trees. Its western side edges the Arabian sea, while the east is separated by Parvathi Puthanar, a manmade canal completed during the time of Regent Sethu Lakshmi Bhai of Travancore Kingdom. Access to National Highway and a railway station is as short as 2 km and the VSSC of the Indian Space Research Organisation is close by. There are two man made hills — one on the south and the other on the north, which are believed to have been made during the time of Portuguese.
  Famous Malayalam Cine Artist Allenciar Ley Lopez hails from Puthenthope.
