Longing to explore its amazing backwaters and eco-tourism, Kollam was my most awaited tourist destination until an invitation. Yes, it was an invitation to attend the wedding of my classmate’s brother in Kollam. This invitation doubled my excitement that pushed me with my five friends from Pune to Kollam via a quick but pleasant flight journey. However, before boarding, our group had decided one thing: A rejuvenating stay for four nights and five days in a homestay on the right bank of the famous Ashtamudi lake. Believe me; this was the most admirable decision, as it added much fun and memories to our dual-purpose travel (attending the wedding as guests and exploring the town as tourists).
Regarded as the gateway to the backwaters of Kerala, the Ashtamudi has a bustling shore adorned by several resorts, holiday homes, and food hubs offering authentic Kerala cuisine. The lake has a distinct wetland ecosystem and a big octopus-shaped aquatic body with several branches.
