Sambranikodi

        If you have a dream of cruising through the peaceful backwaters lined with beautiful lagoons, then you should never miss Sambranikodi

            Situated at the southern tip of Ashtamudi Lake, Sambranikodi is a picturesque island that invites you to experience the virgin beauty of God’s Own Country. The District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC), Kollam, offers boating facilities here.

It is believed that during ancient times, small ships from China anchored along this coast. Local people referred to these ships as 'chambrani' and later the place came to be known as Sambranikodi.


Currently, Sambranikodi is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kollam district. It offers a breath-taking view of waterways fringed by lush mangroves. The DTPC offers a 30-minute cruise through this incredibly beautiful spot. As part of this package, you will get a chance to experience the delicious local cuisine, and see the life of this fishermen’s village.

Travellers can also engage themselves in fishing, collecting clams and exploring the tiny fishing islands here. The DTPC also gives its clients an option to customise the packages, depending on the climate and their personal preferences.

Activities at Sambranikodi:
  • Exploring the beautiful Ashtamudi in the Kettuvallam, and fishing.
  • Collecting oysters from the muddy waters close to a man-made island in the destination.
  • Enjoying the visual beauty of the marine ecosystem, comprising molluscs, fishes, algae, birds, etc.
