Munroe Island Canal - History details

Munroe Island, named after Col. John Munroe (early 1800s), lies at the confluence of Ashtamudi Lake and the Kallada River. Its geography includes narrow canals, mangroves, and paddy islets. Visitors explore the area through DTPC canoe rides and observe coir-making traditions. A notable event, the annual Kallada Boat Race held 28 days after Onam, draws crowds to the waterways.
