The 9th century city built on the edge of Ashtamudi lake and is at a distance of 75 kms from Thiruvanathapuram. Quilon or kollam is the gateway to the spectacular backwaters of Kerala. A boat trip to Alleppy through these placid stretch of water filled with lotus and lilies and the water birds is an out world experience.

Quilon is 75kms from trivandrum. So it is easily accessible and the place is a very good weekend trip for relaxing.

Quilon is the oldest port in Arabian sea. It was actually spice trade centre for many foreign countries. To experience backwaters in quilon we should definitely come to here. Hotels and resorts easily available here if course prior booking. Except the beaches here some beautiful churches are there.

Quilon or Kollam , an old sea port town on the Arabian coast , stands on the Ashtamudi lake. Kollam , the erstwhile Desinganadu, had a sustained commercial reputation from the days of the Phoenicians and the Romans. Fed by the Chinese trade, it was regarded by Ibn Batuta, as one of the five ports , which he had seen in the course of his travels during a period of twenty four years, in the 14th century.

I did my Degree in engineering from quilon. Kollam town, the headquarters of Kollam district and Kollam taluk, has a hoary past. It was a international emporium of trade and even now it is a prosperous commercial centre. It is situated about 71 kms. north of Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum).The 144 ft. Thangassery Light house, built in 1902, is a centre of attraction. The Ananda Valleeswaram Temple here, attracts people on almost all days. There are several Churches and Mosques is not around Kollam. The Pullichira Church was established in 1700 A.D. One of the oldest and most important Mosques in the town is the Chinnakkada Palli. The Thangal Kunju Musaliar College of Engineering, the first of its king in the state, is at Kilikolloor, about 7 kms. east of Kollam town.

It is a bit humid out there in quilon.

There are other places in and around kollam like ,shasthamkotta,asramam,punalur etc.

Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (75 kms.) and Kochi Airport (150kms.) are the nearest airports.

Good enough for a visit when you make a trip to kerala the gods own country.
