🌄 Sasthamkotta - Queen of Lakes
Sasthamkotta lake which is known as the the Queen of Lakes is located 29 km from Kollam. It is the largest freshwater lake in Kerala and has always been a centre of tourist activity. Flanked by magnificent hills on three sides, this area is also home to one of Kerala’s most important pilgrimage sites, the ancient Sastha temple. One can find friendly monkeys on its premises that are considered divine entities by the locals. Dedicated to both Lord Ganesha and Lord Ayyappa, the monkeys are believed to be the faithful entourage of the ruling deity, the Dharmasastha. People love coming and feeding these animals, along with soaking in the spiritual ambience of the place.
