Vembanad Lake In Kumarakom

Lake Vembanad covers an area of 200 sq km, and is at sea level. It is separated from the Arabian Sea by a narrow island. The lake is home to some of the most beautiful islands of the state such as the Pallippuram, Perumbalam and Pathiramanal. The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary is located right on the shores of the lake, and also offers a peaceful stretch of backwaters for a long, leisurely cruise. The lake offers boating, fishing and sightseeing experiences for tourists. Try to spend a night at one of the resorts nearby or on a houseboat so that you can enjoy the full experience of being at Lake Vembanad. 

Vembanad Lake in Kumarakom is not just a tourist attraction, but also a place to hang out and enjoy picnics with the family or with friends. If you visit Vembanad Lake during the festival of Onam, you can also be a spectator of the world famous snake boat races. It is indeed a magical and thrilling sight to see hundreds of oarsmen rowing their boat in unison, singing songs on the top of their voices about their rowing prowess and more. Vembanad Lake history also includes some tragic boat accidents during the races. Vembanad Lake boating tour is a must-try activity for tourists in Kerala.

Naresh's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

I am highly disappointed with your travel agency. We had planned for a trip to Wayanad. We had a clear discussion about the package details and everything was fixed before the trip. All the charges about the package were decided and the itinerary was planned accordingly before we started our trip. All of the sudden on the third day of our trip, they showed their real faces and the driver demanded for additional charges of Rs.3500 saying that he was booked only for 350 KM ride. This was no where mentioned in the package and also none of the tour agency member informed us earlier regarding this. This is completely unfair. It’s a big cheating from the travel agency. The agency along with driver forced us to pay additional charges which was not stated in the package nor did they mention this earlier. The driver stopped the vehicle in between the trip and forced us to pay additional charges. It was a big trap for us because we were helpless and were forced to pay the extra charges as we were in the middle of the trip and couldn’t do anything rather than listening to them. I am going to take this issue forward and going to file a case against your agency by filing a complaint with the Ministry of Tourism through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring Systems (CPGRAMS) portal. Also I would never ever recommend any of my family friends to book trips from your agency Worst experience ever
