A heartland of lagoons and mangrove fields, inter-linked with hundreds of narrow winding canals. Famous for scenic beauty with lakes, backwaters, mangroves, coconut trees& Bird Sanctuary. The slender coconut palms standing here, there and everywhere, it’s never ending paddy fields, meandering lagoons and backwaters and mangroves with nestling birds of a hundred varieties will all serve to calm and inspire your mind. It’s rich in marine life especially the exclusive kumarakom karimeen or pearl spotted fish, konju or tiger prawns, njandu or crabs, chemmeen or prawns and many more. As and when the monsoon winds bring rain to the shores of Vembanad Lake, Kumarakom gets transformed into a rich fertile land.

Ideal place for ayurveda massage, yoga, meditation, swimming, fishing and boating. And adventurous water sports such as wind sailing and water skiing. You could even take a canoe out into the quiet lake, and armed with a fishing rod.

Kumarakom offers Shopping for Handicrafts made of natural fiber, metal and woodcraft products such as wall mirrors with antique finish, multi - colored screw pine boxes, baskets, bags in various sizes, white wood icons and artifacts are other favorite items found in Kerala
