Join us on our very first adventure to Kollam! Our journey started with a bit of a "tight squeeze" in a Maruti Alto, but that was just the beginning of the surprises. From discovering hidden food gems at the railway station to dealing with unexpected train delays, this trip was definitely an adventure.
We check into a brand-new hotel just minutes from the station, give you a full room tour, and share our honest review of a late-night Kerala-style Chinese dinner. Is Kollam worth the hype? We're finding out!
