Kumarakom
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.
