WildlifePlaces To VisitCit

Once a popular trade centre, Kollam, today,

has tourists pouring in from all over the
world. There are several buildings and
structures to visit, but the temples and
mosques are its highlight. You have to wear
a sari or mundu (dhoti) to enter the temples.
Come evening and the dosa shops start to
appear along the empty streets. Try it, you
can't go wrong with dosas! The streets are
filled with eateries offering yummy dosas,
idlis and piping hot filter coffee! Dont lose
heart if are looking for other dining options
as the place has a number of restaurants
offering a variety of cuisines. And yes, do
leave room for spices, cashew nuts and
coffee too!Even though Kollam is a bustling
town, it has its share of quietude and
solitude. Visit Ashtamudi Lake and you will
know what we mean- this beautiful lake is
the preferred spot for people who love to
spend some time soaking up the natural
beauty with only their thoughts for the
company.
