The ultimate Backwaters destination, Kumarakom is a cluster of little islands on the eastern banks of Vembanad Lake – the largest freshwater lake in Kerala. Visit the 14 acre bird sanctuary that attracts many species of migratory birds, and where egrets, heron, teal and waterfowl can be spotted. There are several wonderfully tranquil places to stay on the shores of the lake that lake provide panoramic views.
