Travel Tips Of Sasthamcotta Lake
Kollam, Kerala, India
Sasthamcotta Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Kerala, covering an area of nearly 375 hectares. It is categorized as a Ramsar site, highlighting its international ecological importance. The lake is surrounded by hills on three sides and provides drinking water to the entire Kollam district. A unique feature of this lake is the presence of a large population of larva-eating flies which keep the water pure and potable. The lake is named after the ancient Sastha Temple located on its banks, which is a major pilgrimage center. The surrounding greenery and the calm, crystal-clear water make it a preferred spot for nature lovers and photographers. Visitors can enjoy gentle boat rides that offer a panoramic view of the rolling hills and the vast water expanse. The ecosystem supports various species of migratory birds and freshwater fish. Unlike the brackish backwaters of the rest of the state, this lake offers a different aesthetic with its still, deep blue waters. The area is undergoing several tourism development projects to provide better amenities like walkways and seating areas. It is a place where spirituality meets environmental beauty, as the temple monkeys are considered divine and are a major attraction themselves. The serene atmosphere is ideal for meditation and quiet contemplation.
