Kumarakom

Kumarakom a huddle of little islands located 15 km from Kottayam on the Vembanad Lake can be aptly depicted as a quaint sparkling rural community. The enthralling backwater destination of Kumarakom is a tiny village in Kottayam. Kumarakom is dotted in map with coconut and banana plantations.

The bird sanctuary here stretching across 14 acres is any ornithologist’s ecstasy. This captivating backwater destination proffers guests many vacation options- from roving into the depths of its natural world to gliding down the back waters and fishing. Kumarakom is a paradigm of nature at her paramount -the sweet-smelling blooms, swarms of colorful birds, contiguous foliage and the lucid waters.

It has of late become a favored tourist destination. Boat races, houseboat cruise, canoeing and fishing are a few of the chief attractions of this simple place. The stillness and calm, cutting unsullied air and untouched existence of the plain people of Kumarakom are a matchless and revivifying experience that exceeds any present day amusement or leisure.
