Rose mala In Kollam

Rose mala

One of the most beautiful places to visit in Kollam, Rosemala, is amidst the beautiful shendurney forests and valleys. Boasting the major attractions here is a lake and a watch tower. Boasting the gorgeous surroundings, Rose mala can only be reached through a 10 km trek across the dense jungle. If you are an adventure enthusiast, you should experience this thrilling trek. On the way, there are beautiful views of the green hills in the backdrop and several tinkering streams crisscrossing the forest path. Alternatively, you can also take a jeep or an SUV if you don't want to venture out on foot.

 Starting from Darbhakkulam, a beautiful pond close to the route starting points, Darbhakkulam was initially known for a rare plant called Poa cynosures used in Hindu rituals. Currently, the place boasts rich wildlife. You can find vibrant butterflies, mushroom varieties, and several species of frogs. You can also see the green hills reflect the lake's clear water beneath which little fish keep dancing.

 A little further on the path, there is the famous Rosemala watchtower. From the tower is visible the mighty Thenmala Dam in all its entirety and glory. Here you can also enjoy the mesmerizing sunrise and sunsets. After the watchtower, head to Pallivasal, another junction on the trek. A lake where you can enjoy seating is 2 km.

Further into the tour is a lake where you can enjoy boating. The boat takes you to the meeting point of Umayar, Shenduriniyar, and Uriliyar. The spot offers breathtaking views and is a visual delight.
