Why Kumarakom is a Must-Visit

Vembanad Lake

Stay on the banks of India's longest lake, enjoy stunning sunsets and fresh seafood.

Kumarakom: A Slice of Backwater Paradise

Kumarakom is a cluster of small islands on Vembanad Lake, known for its tranquil backwaters, lush greenery, and the famous Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary. Unlike the busy houseboat hub of Alleppey, Kumarakom offers a more relaxed, village-style backwater experience. Stay in a lakeside resort, take a canoe ride through narrow canals, and watch the sunset paint the sky.

This destination is perfect for couples seeking romance and nature lovers wanting to unwind. It's also a gateway to the unique below-sea-level farming of Kuttanad.
