Kollam Ashtamudi Lake & Thangasseri Day Trip

Kollam

Kollam is the southern gateway to the backwaters, where the eight-armed Ashtamudi lake opens into the sea. It has been a trading port since the Romans, and the Thangasseri quarter still has the ruins of St Thomas Fort, built by the Portuguese, and a lighthouse with a view along the coast. The day is a boat on Ashtamudi and the canals, and the old town on foot.
