Often forgotten

  • Checked baggage · About 10 hours of travel each way, airport time included

    Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.

  • Airport transfer · Arriving by air

    The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.

  • Tips and service charges · Any trip

    Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

  • Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip

    Outside the activities line, which budgets what you do, not what you bring home.

A checklist, not a price list: we show an amount only where a named source has published one.

About Kollam

A port and cashew processing city on Ashtamudi Lake, at the southern end of the Kerala backwaters, known historically as Quilon. The long public boat north to Alappuzha starts here and takes most of a day, which is the cheapest way anybody sees the backwaters. Kollam is a working city first and a visitor town second: the lake stays and the Ayurveda centres are spread along the shore outside the centre rather than in it, and the beaches south of town are quiet and largely undeveloped. Thiruvananthapuram is the nearest airport, about 70 km south. The south-west monsoon runs June to September and the north-east monsoon October into November.
