Kollam to Kottarakkara & Kilikolloor Day Trip

Kollam

Kollam district is the cashew capital of India, and behind the port town the land is full of cashew factories, coir villages and small temples. Kottarakkara, about 25 km inland, is where Ramanattam — the form that became Kathakali — was created in the 17th century, and its Ganapathi temple is a major shrine. A day of craft and cultural history rather than scenery.
