Start your trip by exploring the peaceful Munroe Island Backwaters. This scenic boat ride will take you through narrow canals, mangroves, and coconut groves. Watch local fishermen in their traditional canoes and spot various species of exotic birds. Lose yourself in the tranquility of the backwaters and take in the stunning views of the lush green landscape.
Visit the famous Munroe Island Coir Making Factory and witness how ropes and mats are made using coconut husks. Watch skilled workers spin and weave the dried husks into beautiful handicrafts, rugs, and mats. You can also buy some souvenirs to take with you.
If you have more time, you can explore some nearby attractions such as the Kollam Beach, Shenduruni Wildlife Sanctuary, or the Ananda Valleeswaram Temple. If you have less time, you can skip the coir factory and spend more time cruising in the backwaters. Don't forget to carry sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses during the day. Wear comfortable hiking shoes if you plan to trek.
