KOTTAYAM
Bordered
by the lofty Western Ghats on the east, and the Vembanad lake and the paddy
fields of Kuttanad on the west, Kottayam is a land of unique characteristics.
Panoramic backwater stretches, lush paddy fields, highlands, extensive rubber
plantations and a totally literate people have given this district the enviable
title
"The land of letters, latex and lakes."
Kottayam is the ideal take-off point for visits to Peermede, Munnar, Idukki,
Thekkady, Ernakulam and the temple city of Madurai.
