Club Mahindra Ashtamudi Kerala Located in the lush district of Kollam is one of the largest lakes in Kerala, second only in size to the famous Vembanad lake. Club Mahindra Ashtamudi is easily accessible from Tiruvananthapuram (90 kms) and Kochi (175 kms) and the closest town with a rail head is Kollam or Quilon at 18 kms, located on the banks of the lake. The lake which branches out like the eight arms of an octopus is called “Ashtamudi” meaning eight cones in the local language. Small towns and villages lie huddled together on its banks, surrounded by a fabric of green and blue. Unmindful of its own beauty, Ashtamudi with its vast network of canals and lagoons is one of the premium backwater destinations and wetlands in Kerala. Don’t miss out on houseboat rides during your visit to Ashtamudi Lake where you can explore the beauty of Kerala’s village life with your family. Lost in the arms of nature and located right on the banks of this pristine lake is Club Mahindra Ashtamudi Resort, the last word in luxury here.
