How to get there:
Amma's Ashram is located in the tiny village of Vallickavu,
Kollam district in south Kerala between the backwater canal and the Arabian
sea. From Vallickavu one could take a boat across the backwaters to Amrithapuri.
Alternatively you could take the slightly longer beach road from Karunagapally
(10 km south) and cross the backwaters through a bridge which brings you
directly to the ashram. Kollam, the nearest city is around 35km from the
ashram.
Air: The nearest Airports are
Kochi (140 km north) and
Thiruvananthapuram (the capital of Kerala 110km south) of the
ashram.
Rail & Road: The nearest railway and bus stations
are at Kayamkulam (12km north) and Karunagapally (10km south) from where
you can take a local bus, taxi or Auto rickshaw to Vallickavu village,
from where you could take a boat across or straight to the Amrithapuri
Asram through the beach road from Karunagapally.
