Thangassery Light House

Beautiful view from top of the light house. I think going either in the morning or evening is better than being there in the afternoon.

I went here three times in the last six months, but the place remains closed to visitors. They are saying it can't be open to the public because of COVID situations. I don't know the logic behind it, as everything is back to normal now!

Edited after my fourth visit on 25/06/22

Happy to see that it's opened for public now. The view from top is breathtaking. There is a lift facility which can be used for those who can't climb the steps.

It was really a worthwhile visit to the light house...loved the view from the light house and also to see such a historic monument. It's well maintained. And the visit time is from 10 am to 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm till 6.00 pm. There is a basic ticket rate of Rs. 20 for adults and Rs. 10 for children, Senior citizens Rs. 10 and foreign nationals Rs.50. The light house has a lift inside making it easy to reach the top, however there are few stairs that needed to be climbed to reach up. We have to remove the footwear before entering the light house. The premises also has a small park for the kids.

Situated near to Thankasheri St Thomas fort. Ticket costs 10 rupees per person plus 30 for mobile camera. It looks so simple until you start climbing the steps. Last part is a vertical ladder. Also there is a elevator inside the light house.

The visuals from the top of the light house is priceless and very attractive. The best time to go is in the evening. Good for friends and couples. If you go along with kids, even though it's good you have to be very careful. You can see overall view of Fort also.

Beautiful place to experience majestic sunset. This is a heritage architecture but is maintained very well. There’s a lift service as well. Definitely visit this place when in Kollam.

Lovely views from the top of the lighthouse

The entry fee is 20 rupees and an extra 10 for photography 🎟️ including mobile camera.

A very well maintained lighthouse be it the entrance or the upper deck all neat and clean. The staff also polite and helpful.

You can use the stairs or a lift but I suggest taking the stairs to enjoy the experience ✌🏽
