Munroe Island is a network of 8 islets located at the confluence of the Ashtamudi Lake and the Kallada River in the Kollam district of South Kerala, India. The 8 islets of Munroe are separated by small canals and lakes, forming an extensive and beautiful network of waterway. The main island, also called Mundrothuruthu, Munroturuttu and Mundro island, still remains unheard of to many Indians even today. While Alleppey is famous as the Venice of India, Munroe Island is rightly known as the 'Hidden Venice of India'.
Munroe Island is a hidden pearl in the backwaters which is located about 27 km from Kollam. It is an ideal spot for canal cruise. The place is named in honour of Resident Colonel John Munroe, of the former princely state of Travancore. He is said to have integrated several backwater regions by digging canals. Some of this island’s main attractions are the narrow waterways, canal cruise and the famous Kallada Boat Race held here during the Onam season.
The mangrove forest inside the lake is a wonderful feast for the eyes. The total ride through the lakes will take about 2 hours and will cost Rs.1000/
People living in and around the lake/lagoon create bunds and farm fishes, marine organisms, crabs, lobsters etc.
Some of the island's main attraction is cruising through the narrow canals, passing under the naturally formed mangrove arches and low-lying bridges, experiencing the village life and witnessing the famous Kallada Boat race up-close (held during the Onam festival). We would, in fact, recommend Munroe Island over its more popular counterpart Alleppey (Alappuzha), due to lesser crowds, more serene landscape and lower costs.We can experience the bird watching of migratary birds and also coir making in manroe Island.
