I went here three times in the last six months, but the place remains closed to visitors. They are saying it can't be open to the public because of COVID situations. I don't know the logic behind it, as everything is back to normal now! Edited after my fourth visit on 25/06/22 Happy to see that it's opened for public now. The view from top is breathtaking. There is a lift facility which can be used for those who can't climb the steps.

Really beautiful view from the top, it’s a very good destination to visit with family and friends. Needs to upgrade on much more in lieu of amenities and facilities, like could connect to the break water park as well .. which would be a better option for tourism promotion .

Walk through the pavement in Thangassery is really awesome. Especially in evening sunset time. Thangassery light house top view is really amazing too !!

Great View from top, Well maintained, Old equipment well preserved and taken care. The person Incharge we were so kind to share some details about the history, it’s rare when compared to other monuments else where, Even though it’s near to my home town, could not get inside during childhood days. Visited 6 July 2019

It is closed due to covid restrictions. So please enquire and make sure it is reopened before your visit.

It's one of the best place to visit in Kollam. Due to pandemic they are not allowing the visitors, but it's one of the best place to visit. You can have a great view from outside it really looks beautiful from a long distance, on the way to this lighthouse you can also see a Fort which is completely destroyed and a single wall alone is there.

Situated near to Thankasheri St Thomas fort. Ticket costs 10 rupees per person plus 30 for mobile camera. It looks so simple until you start climbing the steps. Last part is a vertical ladder. Also there is a elevator inside the light house. The visuals from the top of the light house is priceless and very attractive. The best time to go is in the evening. Good for friends and couples. If you go along with kids, even though it's good you have to be very careful. You can see overall view of Fort also.

#Located at Thankassery , Kollam #Best view of Surrounding Area from the top #Entry fee applicable #Well maintained lighthouse #Lift available

A very nice tourist spot. I went there with my friends. Ticket charges are Adult -₹ 20 Children -₹10 Senior citizens - ₹10 There is a parking area near it. The view from the top of the lighthouse is mesmerizing. Entry is restricted up to 6pm . We can have an excellent view of thangasshery beach from there. I recommend it as a good spot to spend a weekend. The cool sea breeze and scenery gives you all the satisfaction of waiting in queue for 15 minutes.

An old light house which will give the best view of kollam beach and city at the same time. There is an entry ticket for adults for INR 20 and for camera INR 10. Good place to watch sunset. There is lift also for going to top of the lighthouse.

Thangassery Light House is a must-visit attraction in Kollam, Kerala. The lighthouse is a signature of Thangassery and offers a breathtaking view of the breakwater and small fishing harbor. The fishing boats here are very colorful and so are the houses we see from here. There is a lift that takes you most of the way up, but if you don’t need one, I would recommend walking up the steps and spending time at the windows. The lighthouse is well-maintained and the old equipment is well-preserved and taken care of.

This place location in Kerala state kollam district, near to Alleppey place, in Kollam and thangassery beach and light house is very good place to visit, evening is pretty good to see sunset in pathway and light house

Nice view point. Its really good to see sun set but not from the tower but from the outside shore.Due to covid , lighthouse is not opened for viewers.

Staffs there is complete dump , they don't even know how to behave to tourists . Authorities, pls try to teach some manners and make sure they know how to handle a beautiful tourist spot and how to behave to tourists.

This spot is near the Kollam beach, currently under renovation works. So entry is not permitted even though you reach the spot.

Not the best beach. Very dangerous to play in the beach. If you visit, you can have a pleasant view. Best go for a sunset

Have to be safe with kids.

Photos of Thangassery, one of the most scenic beauty of Kollam. While returning back from short 2 Km walk into the scenic Arabian sea, on the left is the beautiful sea, lashing the rocks beneath the light house but unfortunately on the right side is the garbage coming from the shores. In a way it's good that it's not going into the deep sea and destroying marine life!

Never Miss the view from::: The grand old lady of Tangi, had her origin as a raised column with an oil lamp built by the East India Company at the same site during the mid-19th century. The purpose was to guide their merchant vessels that came from the Malabar coast to Anjengo (now Anchuthengu) and went further down to enter the Bay of Bengal via Ceylon. Commissioned on March 1, 1902

It's 2nd tallest light house in kerala situated in thangassery which is a old Portuguese port. Tourist visiting kollam should definitely visit this place. The view from above the light house is mesmerizing.. From there we can see the costal beauty of kollam city and kollam 'pullimuttu' ( 1 1/2 km road across the sea for protecting Harbour from high tide). Either one can use the traditional spiral staircase or lift facility is also available to get to the top. We have to buy entry pass, parking is available but limited.

They open at 10am sharp. Make sure to reach after 10, because there is no place to sit and wait. Entry costs 10rs. There is an elevator to reach the top, but it's only a few flights of stairs. The view from the top is simply amazing. Would have been great if they were open during sunset hours.

The Thangassery Light house is located in the Kollam district of Kerala, India. Visited the light house around 2pm and bought entry ticket. The light house has lift facility inside and will cover from ground floor to 2nd floor, Rest floor need to use spiral narrow steps to reach. Enjoyed panoramic view and breeze of the arabian sea. The view from the top of the breakwater and surrounding is really awesome. This is the best spot to get chilled out and can enjoy the beauty of the site. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to visit and remain a historical landmark ever.

Wonderful experience.. മുകളിൽ ഉള്ള കാറ്റിന് ഒരു പ്രത്യേക സുഖം ആണ്. Entry fees: Rs. 20 for adults. Rs. 10 for children. Extra fees for mobile and camera photography. We parked outside as we did not see any dedicated parking space. You can reach the top of the lighthouse either by climbing stairs or taking the lift. Usually you'll have to wait 5-10 min in a queue to get into the lift.

Really good panoramic view of the city. It has a lift for those who don't wanna walk the stairs. You won't get too much time to explore on top as there are a lot of people, weekdays will be perfect. Tickets for adults are 20₹.

The views from Thangassery Light House are extremely beautiful and serene. It doesn't matter what time of day you visit.. the view will always be great. There is an elevator in the lighthouse to save you from the effort of climbing the long spiral staircase. Along the staircase are windows with breathtaking views of the landscape, a promenade and beaches. At the top you will find a lens and lighting mechanism and a terrace. This place is open till 6pm in the evening.

It is one of the two lighthouses in the kollam district.it is in operation since 1902. This one has hight of 41 metres making as the second tallest lighthouse In kerala. There's a beautiful view of the sea and neighbourhood from the top of it There's also a elevator facility for those who can't climb the stairs. Getting up there in the evening to see the sunset is a nice experience. Fee 20₹ per person and less for children From up there we can get a clear picture of the kollam breakwater. Best time is in the morning or evening when the sun is not that hot.

Thangassery Lighthouse is well worth a visit if in the area -- as a reward for ascending the 166 steps (if I'm not mistaken) are some quite spectacular views of the surrounding area, and all at a very reasonable admission price. The light house is well maintained. The break water nearby is excellent for sunset walk. Great breeze.Not entirely safe during the monsoon season because there may be rising waves.

This is not about review but an update. NOT ALLOWED FOR VISITORS as of feb 11th 2021. In goggle it’s mentioned as opened, but it’s not.

Thangassery light house gives a nostalgic memories.It provides best view, calm atmosphere and nice place to spend time with friends and family, but they offer limited time to spend there. Staffs behaviour towards people also little rude.

Not opened after Covid.. Many tourists go disappointed..

Good view from top . A good place to visit. They charge a minimum fare for entry. But due to covid conditions its temporarily closed .

Well a very beautiful place to visit. there is a lift to reach just below the top. then you have to climb two flight of stairs. The view is breathtaking. go in the evening to avoid the harsh sun. the breakwater is an excellent place for a really long walk. you may see lot of mongoose roaming around. some beautiful graffiti adorn the rocks on the breakwater. Take lot of water and snacks with you.

Great place, but closed due to Covid.

Must watch place while you visit Kollam.Thangassery Lighthouse is situated at Thangasseri in Kollam city. Very beautiful view from this place.A beautiful place to visit to experience the coastal area.

The lighthouse is closed temporary due to covid situations. The status needs to be updated. Many came today including us and returned with disappointment.🙃

Beautiful view from top of the light house. I think going either in the morning or evening is better than being there in the afternoon.

Totally worth the visit. Breathtaking views of Kollam beach and Arabian Sea. Didn't feel like descending from the lighthouse. Loved the breeze atop the structure. There's a lift inside the lighthouse which we took only during the descent. We climbed up using the staircase which added to the feel. Well maintained lighthouse. We met the incharge who has been working at the facility for more than 25 years. Many working parts are from colonial era which added to the vintage charm.

It is one of the must visit places in kollam.Located in Tangy.From the top the beautiful Arabian sea and mount Carmel and infant jesus schools are visible.It has a lift,even though a few steps have to be climbed.It charges 20Rs per person.It is worth watching.From morning 10:00 to evening 5:00 entry is allowed.

Beautiful place to experience majestic sunset. This is a heritage architecture but is maintained very well. There’s a lift service as well. Definitely visit this place when in Kollam.

A very good place to visit in kollam. Amazing view at the top. Lift is available to take you up. But you have to take some stairs after getting out from the lift to see the view. The last set of stairs after the lift is a little steep, so it is not advisable for older people.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Lighthouse, and I must say it was a truly unforgettable experience. Nestled along the breathtaking coastline, this lighthouse offers a unique combination of beauty and thrill that is hard to find elsewhere. Here's my review of the Lighthouse: First and foremost, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Lighthouse had a lift facility. This made the journey to the top much more accessible and convenient for visitors of all ages and physical abilities. The presence of a lift ensures that even those who may struggle with climbing stairs can still enjoy the panoramic views from the lighthouse. I highly recommend visiting the Lighthouse during the evening hours. Not only does it provide a stunning backdrop for capturing memorable photos, but it also offers a respite from the scorching daytime heat. The cooler weather adds to the overall pleasant experience, allowing visitors to explore the lighthouse comfortably. While the Lighthouse's top observation area may have limited space, this in no way diminishes the awe-inspiring view that awaits you. As you ascend to the summit, the anticipation builds, and once you reach the top, you're greeted by sweeping vistas of the surrounding coastline. The unobstructed views of the shimmering sea and the rugged cliffs are simply breathtaking, making the climb well worth the effort. However, I must warn you that climbing the Lighthouse can be a somewhat intimidating experience. The narrow staircases and steep steps add an element of excitement and adventure, but they may also evoke a sense of fear, especially for those with a fear of heights. If you're up for a thrilling challenge, climbing the Lighthouse will surely get your heart racing. Overall, my visit to the Lighthouse was a delightful and unforgettable experience. The combination of the lift facility, the cool evening weather, and the awe-inspiring views made it a must-visit attraction. Whether you're seeking a scenic adventure or simply want to soak in the beauty of the coastline, the Lighthouse offers an enchanting experience that will leave you in awe. I highly recommend visiting the Lighthouse, but do remember to check the operating hours and plan your visit accordingly. Enjoy the beautiful vistas and embrace the thrill of climbing to the top

One of the places that you could visit while coming to Kollam is this Lighthouse! The view from the top is breathtaking. There is an elevator inside too but I would recommend taking the steps! It's an amazing experience and the entry fee is very minimal.

Kollam presents itself as one of the finest options for a delightful evening excursion with your family.

we can climb the top of lighthouse tower with the avail of hoist or step, I optically canvassed most of the people cerebrating the hoist will reached the top of the tower haplessly it didn't reached to top, balance height we should climb manually. I optically discerned more insalubrious people additionally endeavoring to going topside but it will be very arduous because you may be suffering to breathing quandaries and other leg pain issues.The lighthouse top view was very astonishing. However,the lighthouse staffs are not controlling the people who was already climbed in top of the lighthouse, because people are not yare to gave space to another.
