Quilon
Kollam (earlier Quilon), 72 km off Thiruvananthapuram, is a trade-nerve
in Southern Kerala. Its trading-tradition dates back to
early centuries
when Chinese, Greeks, Arabs and Romans haunted the shore for ship-loading
Kerala spices and produces. Today Kollam is the major cashew trading and
processing centre in the country. Also a hub of marine industry.
Kollam, where past rubs shoulder with present, is a Kerala-in-miniature
with its all features; sea, lakes, plains, mountains, rivers, streams,
backwaters, forest and vast green fields.
