Importance

Valathungal lies close to the city's major transportation hubs. The presence of a significant number of schools and religious worship centres in the area have increased Valathungal's importance among the neighbourhoods of Kollam. The government VHSS and Boys High School are two of the important schools in the locality. Valathungal is about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Pallimukku, which is on National Highway-66.
