KUMARAKOM
BACKWATERS
10 km from Kottayam
A
voyage north of Alappuzha takes you to the rich green, sleepy little village
of Kumarakom on the Vembanad lake. An enchanting picnic spot and a fast developing
backwater tourism destination, Kumarakom provides boating, fishing and sightseeing
experiences that are truly exhilarating.
An exclusive attraction of this much sought after backwater resort is the Kumarakom
Bird Sanctuary. The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary is an ornithologist's paradise
and a fabourite haunt of migratory birds like the Siberian stork, egret, darter,
heron and teal. A cruise along the Vembanad lake is the best way to view the
bird life.
