Vembanad Lake In Kumarakom

The longest lake in India, Vembanad Lake is one of the most popular attractions in Kerala.

The largest lake in Kerala, one of the largest in the country and even one of the largest freshwater lakes in the continent, Vembanad Lake is a tranquil spot for those looking to relax and enjoy their vacation away from the hustle bustle of city life.

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. Travelers can check into a Vembanad Lake houseboat to stay, dine, and experience the timeless beauty of the shoreline.

Chitra's 3 days trip to Kumarakom

We recently booked a 2-day trip to Alleppey through Namaskaram Travels via travel triangle , and the entire experience was excellent. They handled all the arrangements, including hotel bookings and the cab service, making our trip completely hassle-free. The hotel stay was very comfortable — the rooms were clean, well-maintained, and the hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It really made our stay relaxing and pleasant. Special mention to the cab driver arranged by Namaskaram Travels — he was very friendly, professional, and took great care of us throughout the trip. He also suggested good places to visit and eat, making our Alleppey experience even better. Overall, we had a wonderful and smooth trip thanks to Namaskaram Travels. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone planning a visit to Alleppey!
