Natural beauty at its best.

The beauty of Sasthamcotta Lake is indescribable. Bund Road Come evening time

Sasthamcotla lake is the largest freshwater lake in Kerala. The lake which derives its name from a Sastha temple – temple near the lake, is the largest source of drinking water for the people living in the town of Kollam. The reason for it being a freshwater source is the presence of larva chaoborus in the water. It is known for eating the bacteria from the water and making it fit for drinking. This lake is one of the Kollam places to visit.

Nice place to visit

There are many hidden places on the shores of the lake to enjoy the beauty of the lake. Select such places to replace important view points ..

It was really calm and quiet. The unpaved walking trail is a little bit slippery and muddy, but who cares! The nature will show its simplified enticing face in the evening. There's a private boat service and a temple.

Peaceful and beautiful place. The boat ride is not free and the place is photogenic. You can walk enjoying the breeze

Sasthamkotta Lake is the largest of its kind in Kerala and said to have derived its name from an ancient Sastha Temple located near the lake. It is surrounded by hills on the 3 sides and is the largest source of drinking water for the residents of Kollam. The reason for it being a freshwater source is the presence of larva chaoborus in the water which is responsible of consuming bacteria from the lake water and makes its healthy and fit for drinking. The lake is home for 27 species of freshwater fish. You can do boating and swimming in this lake. Timings: 24-hrs, preferred 10 am – 6 pm

Kerala’s largest fresh water lake. Very close to Sasthamcotta Sree Dharma Sastha Temple and Kumbalathu Sankupillai Memorial Devaswom Board College. There is almost no facilities available here. You could enjoy the nature as it is without much disturbances.

Visited on Aug 2021 just before onam days. Best time to visit this place after noon, around 3pm onward. Very early morning also best time to visit. This time I could not see any monkeis around. Tourist boat services are available.

Sasthamcotta Lake or Sasthamkotta Lake, also categorized as a wetland, is the largest fresh water lake in Kerala, a state of India on the south of the West Coast. The lake is named after the ancient Sastha temple (a pilgrimage centre) located on its bank. It meets the drinking water needs of half million people of the Quilon district and also provides fishing resources. The purity of the lake water for drinking use is attributed to the presence of large population of larva called cavaborus that consumes bacteria in the lake water.[2] The lake is a designated wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention since November 2002. [3]

It was a wonderful experience being with riders at Sasthamcotta Lake. Morning vibes.. The lake is familiar as the largest fresh water lake in kerala. There is a famous temple named sree dharma sastha kshetram which is on the banks of Sasthamcotta lake.

Amazing Place... Greenary.. Boating

Is the one and only freshwater lake in Kerala. The government really protects it by banning the use of motor boat in the lake as it provides drinking water for the whole Kollam district. It is such a beautiful destination where we can enjoy sightseeing, boating, fishing etc..So many people visit this place for wedding photo shoot everyday.! The place is more quiet and peaceful as it is not an over crowded place. I have brought my friends from Idukki and they enjoyed the destination a lot..! Even i also visit this place often when i feel sad or disturbed. Taking a walk through the bank of the lake makes us more happy and peaceful.

Flourishing beauty with peaceful vibe

Calm and serene place. Water is pure too

Niceeeeee

Good experience
