Kumarakom
Backwaters
(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.
