Ashramam Picnic Village

Ashramam Picnic Village is one of Kollam city’s principal public recreation and tourism spaces, located at Asramam beside the Ashtamudi backwaters. DTPC Kollam describes the area around the historic government guest house as a broad leisure hub with multiple attractions rather than a single sightseeing point. Depending on current operations, visitors may find boating and kayaking, children’s play areas, adventure-oriented facilities and open spaces suitable for family outings.

The Paramparya Museum adds a cultural dimension by presenting Keralam art and craft traditions, while the waterfront setting keeps the Ashtamudi landscape close at hand. Ashramam is particularly useful for travellers staying in Kollam because it is near the city centre and can be combined with Kollam Beach, Thangassery and backwater cruises. The destination is also associated with major public events and gatherings, so the atmosphere can vary from quiet daytime recreation to busier festival periods.

Its mix of green space, culture and water-based leisure makes it a practical all-age attraction within urban Kollam.
