I am a licensed private tour guide since 1989. I love meeting people, guiding them to experience the life, culture and people of my country India. I have traveled widely in India, especially almost all major tourist destinations in the south. I also traveled to other countries. I have been with my guests to entire southern India, starting from Mumbai to southern states Andhra Pradesh, Telengana, Karnatka, Goa, Tamilnadu, Pondichery and Kerala. I like to offer to my guests the experience of our cultural, social and political life taking them to markets, villages, schools, festivals, family rituals etc. Join me to have an authentic feel of a memorable journey! - Guide licence issued by the ministry of tourism, govt. of India. - Successfully participated in training programs conducted by various international tourism agencies. I am not a driver. I will arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Kollam tour

Enjoy an exciting excursion to "the land's end", with a touch of local life! PADMANABHAPURAM PALACE - the largest existing wooden palace complex, built from 16 century AD onwards. Once it was the capital of one of the richest South Indian Kingdoms. Its unique features include natural air conditioning, medicated shining floors, large dining rooms to serve lunch for 2000 brahmins and more. KANYAKUMARI - southern tip of India's main land where three seas meet, the Bay of Bengal, Arabian sea and Indian Ocean. A very popular pilgrim centre for Hindu and tourists. VIVEKANANDA ROCK MEMORIAL - built on a rock a few meters away from the mainland on the Bay of Bengal, dedicated to Swamy Vivekananda, a Hindu philosopher who took the message of Indian Hindu philosophy to the world. Also there is a shrine of "devine feet" of the Virgin Goddess. MAHATMA GANDHI MEMORIAL, built by the side of the sea where the "Sacred Ashes " of Mahatma Gandhi was kept before its immersion in the sea. Join me for a unique experience!
