Kollam – Where Backwaters Meet the Sea
Welcome to Kollam, a peaceful seaside town where Kerala's fabled backwaters, beaches, and culture merge seamlessly. Formerly an active port on the spice route, today Kollam retains a quaint old-world charm with its ancient temples, colonial survivals, and serene waterways. Cruise down the serene lengths of Ashtamudi Lake, Kerala's second-largest backwater, or relax on the golden shores of Thirumullavaram Beach. Stop by the majestic Kollam Clock Tower, learn about the holy Sasthamkotta Lake, or stroll through spice markets which seem to tell stories of ancient trade. Less busy and more deeply spiritual, Kollam provides a more laid-back alternative to Kerala's more popular towns—ideal for slow travel and cultural immersion.
