Why this place stands out
Ayiramthengu in Kollam is a government-supported mangrove conservation area near Oachira, valued for coastal biodiversity, fish breeding habitats, birdlife and peaceful nature viewing.
Ayiramthengu Mangrove Forest is an important nature destination in the northern coastal belt of Kollam district, near Oachira and the Alappad region. Keralam Tourism highlights the area as a successful mangrove-conservation landscape, with several mangrove species spread across a broad wetland ecosystem. The habitat supports aquatic life, numerous crab species, fish breeding grounds, birds and other wildlife.
A narrow bridge and waterside paths give visitors views into the mangrove vegetation and tidal channels, where the scenery changes with the movement of water. The site is especially rewarding for nature lovers, photographers and visitors interested in coastal ecology. Because mangroves are sensitive habitats, travellers should avoid littering, disturbing wildlife or leaving marked paths.
Ayiramthengu can also be combined with nearby coastal and backwater attractions around Oachira and Azheekal.
