About the Destination

Overview

Jatayu Earth's Center is a unique tourism project in Kollam, centered around the world's largest bird sculpture. The park is spread across four hills, with the main attraction being the massive concrete statue of Jatayu, the mythical eagle from the Ramayana. This sculpture sits atop Jatayupara, the hill where the bird is believed to have fallen while fighting Ravana. Visitors reach the sculpture via a Swiss-made cable car, which provides a scenic ride over the rocky terrain. The sculpture itself is an architectural marvel, measuring 200 feet in length, 150 feet in width, and 70 feet in height. Inside, there are plans for a multi-dimensional digital museum.

The monsoon season, from June to August, experiences heavy rainfall, which might disrupt cable car operations and other activities.
Peak Crowd: December-January, weekends, and school holidays like Onam and Christmas, due to pleasant weather and tourist season.
Moderate Crowd: September-November and February-March, particularly on weekdays.
Low Crowd: April-May due to extreme heat, and June-August during the heavy monsoon season.
