Munroe Island is a tranquil group of eight delta islands situated at the confluence of the Ashtamudi Lake and the Kallada River in Kollam, Kerala. Named after Colonel John Munro, this offbeat paradise is crisscrossed by a network of narrow, scenic canals, mangrove forests, and coconut plantations, offering a peaceful glimpse of traditional island life.
It is the ultimate destination for slow-paced canoe cruising through narrow backwater canals, bird watching, and experiencing authentic Kerala village hospitality.
