Everyone says Kottayam is a sleepy town after 8 PM. Now we know why. The population is on the decline. Those who are of childbearing age have migrated abroad. And the ones that are here barely have one child. There are no industries or job creation attempts by the government, so inward migration is low. Ingane poyaal, Kottayam is doomed.

As the title says, i just want to start exploring better options. I tried noor cool house for shakes & all. Loved it. Need to take my younger brother who came from overseas, so can't disappoint with slop

I mean it was one of the best. Used to frequent this place for their Nashville spicy chicken.

I want a free jogging place in kottayam for walking. Can you suggest anything near town

So, how is your life going? Suggest some of the best places to visit in Kottayam.

Got a few hours to kill during a layover in Kottayam. Looking for a chill spot that’s shady, not too crowded, and good for just relaxing for a while. Open to parks, quiet neighborhoods, scenic spots, etc. No cafes preferably

What would you recommend?

need to know the best places for a proper thick shake. Dairy Queen was good a few yrs ago. Any other spots that does it well? not looking for variety, more so quality

Hey guyss. I may visit kottayam for a course and will be required to stay there for a max of 20 days.

Suggest me some good mens hostels or pg near kollad where my institute is located.

Thanks in advance.

I have a relative's kid currently in Kottayam Medical College's children's wing - ICH. While the entry is restricted strictly to patients and bi-standers, the kid's parents were saying that a bunch of Kreupasanam people entered the ICU, distributed pamphlets, chanted prayers, and even kissed the kids. This incident makes me wonder how many such incidents happen in hospitals across Kerala. I don't have any personal vendetta against Kreupasanam - but in my opinion entering ICU is criminal. What if tomorrow, all religious groups and cults start doing the same.

Have you witnessed something similar?

Im 19 F just moved in near caritas junction. Is there any cute hang out spots here. I also lowkey wanna learn guitar/ boxing/ gym and driving. Any good recs for such places?

Hello, I am a graduate in engg looking for coaching centres and knew about Career Heights. Apparently this is the only coaching center that's giving SSC only coaching in Kottayam and its very expensive compared to other coaching centers.

But I don't know about quality of teaching, materials, behavior of faculty, infrastructure facilities. If someone who studied or studying in Career heights, please answer these doubts and also "Is Career heights good for a person focusing on SSC CGL" or will you recommend other coaching centers?

Resigned around Easter, and came back to Kottayam. Unemployment sucks, what sucks even more is the boredom and loneliness. I was out of the state for a year and a half and it was great, but now I'm dead tired of doom scrolling for the past month and randomly going out aimlessly. Anyone up to just hang out? Im around the pala side

I have a few options as to where to go for UG which is

1. 5 year integrated mba course at SCAS
2. 3 year BBA with logistics course at SCAS
3. 4 years BBA honours at Marian college kuttikanam

Help me out here cause each case has its own pros and cons

today i attended a function in kottayam and drove there from kochi. i’m generally a very calm and careful driver because i value safety a lot, so i usually slow down or stop to let other vehicles or pedestrians cross when needed!

what surprised me today was that on the drive back, i stopped three different times to let cars cross in front of me, and all three drivers thanked me with hand gestures and thumbs up!

coming from kochi, this felt unusual because i do this regularly there too, but maybe only 3 out of 10 people acknowledge it cause I think everyone is used to this!

so now i’m curious. is this kind of courtesy less common in kottayam, which is why they appreciated it more, or was it just a coincidence and i happened to meet especially polite drivers today?
