Kollam- Punalur

One place we visited in Kollam district was Punalur. It was late May when we visited Punalur and it was really very hot. We learnt that Punalur has the distinction of being one of the hottest places in Kerala.

The rubber plantations lining either side of the roads are lovely and as evening falls you see dappled light on the floors.

There is an old bridge (built in 1877)



which cannot be used but can be photographed over the gently flowing Kallada river.



Here's how the bridge looks...




There is a Aryas restuarant nearby for an inexpensive and tasty Kerala meal.
