Kayaking in Kollam’s mangroves is a must-do experience, but to make the most of your adventure, it’s essential to be prepared.
Here’s everything you need to know to plan your kayaking trip:
1. Best Time to Kayak:
The best time to visit Kollam’s mangroves is from October to March, during the dry season. The weather is pleasant, and the waterways are calm, providing perfect conditions for kayaking. The monsoon season (June to September) can make the water levels high and swift, so it’s best to avoid kayaking during this time, especially for beginners.
2. Safety Tips:
- Always wear a life jacket, regardless of your skill level.
- Bring a waterproof bag for valuables, such as your phone and camera.
- If you’re unfamiliar with the area, consider hiring a local guide to show you around.
- Stay alert for any wildlife encounters, like monitor lizards or crocodiles, though sightings are rare.
3. What to Bring:
- Kayak and paddle (available for rent, but bring your own if you prefer).
- Sun protection: Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against sunburn.
- Bug repellent: Mosquitoes are common near mangroves, so come prepared.
- Camera or binocula
