From Thiruvananthapuram you can either take bus or rented taxi or Volvo a tourist bus to reach here, it’s only a distance of 17 km and takes only a few hours to it.

For places to visit there are numerous tourist attractions in Kollam to mention but here let me just highlight you the places that have stunned me and I still wish to go and relish them again.

The lighthouse of Quilon was built by the British in the year 1902 and stands till today perfectly with its amazing height of 144 feet and is an impressive tower. A view from the top point of this high tower is breathtaking you can capture almost the far off 13 miles sea spectacular view and is mind blowing to stand in the evening hour during the day dawn, the reflection created by sunset rays pouring down with reddish hue on the dark blue sea with clouds pure and white you can capture a snap and treasure them for life.
