I parked my car at karimpin jetty. Walked over to the house nearby and asked if he could take me on his powered canoe to the light house. Guess what it was a wonderful experience. He charged me 300/-. Only thing you need to bear in mind is that it is difficult to dock at Monroe light house. So i had to use my acrobatic skills to get on land

The Munroe Lighthouse situated in Pazhukkanila, Pallam, Kottayam. The Munroe lighthouse was built around 200 years ago. In the 19th and 20th century, the Munroe lighthouse served as a major landmark and guide to all the boats from Alappuzha and Ernakulam which used to sail to Kottayam for different trading purposes. This forgotten lighthouse in Kottayam lies at the point where the Kodoor river and Meenachil river meets and merges into the Vembanad lake. The Munroe Lighthouse was built by Colonel John Munro in 1815 who was then the Divan of the Travancore state. Earlier, this 35 foot lighthouse was lit using kerosene and a lens besides it used to illuminate a large area. The government also had an appointed person to light the lamp. Instead of being treasured, this piece of Travancore history was neglected and unnoticed by the Government. IWAI(Inland Waterways Authority of India) have already started their process to take care of the lighthouse. It’s been around 30 years since the Munro Lighthouse has closed its eyes. After the successful restoration, this historical establishment could be one of the best tourist attractions in Kottayam. There is no road to reach here. Walk about a 1 KM by a narrow path besides river takes you to the dead end of manro light house.
