to Kumarakom in the morning after breakfast.
The drive from Thekkady to Kumarakom takes about 5 hours, passing
through lush green surroundings and lined with traditional Keralan
houses.
Kumarakom is a small town, situated on the shores of the shimmering
waters of Vembanad lake, just 14 km from Kottayam. It forms a part of
the Kuttanad region which is also sometimes known as the 'rice bowl of
Kerala'. A cluster of little islands, Kumarakom is a haven of lush
vegetation, meandering waterways and a salubrious climate.
Besides being an enchanting backwater destination, the place also
offers visitors plenty other opportunities ranging from leisure
activities like boating and fishing to adventure sports. Enjoy an exotic
houseboat ride on the shimmering waters which make this charming beauty
of mangrove forests and lush green paddy fields, one of the all time
favourite tourist haunts on the planet.
Check in at the hotel. Dinner and overnight at Kumarakom.
