Sasthamcotta Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Kerala, located in Kollam district. Known for its clean and mineral-rich water, the lake serves as a major source of drinking water for the region.

Surrounded by lush greenery and coconut groves, the lake offers a peaceful and scenic atmosphere. The calm waters beautifully reflect the sky, especially during sunrise and sunset. The nearby ancient temple dedicated to Lord Sastha adds cultural significance to the area.

Unlike the more commercial backwater destinations, Sasthamcotta Lake remains quiet and ideal for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
