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.

    Sudhir's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

    We had a very bad experience with the cab driver. From the start of the trip to the end, he was complaining that our itinerary is poorly planned and that the agency had fooled us into paying double the amount worth the value. He verbally abused us throughout the trip saying we don’t know the value
    of money and we have wasted it in booking a night stay at a boat house and at costly hotel rooms. He also kept saying that he is unhappy with us and tried to change our itinerary every day. When we put our foot down and said we want to go to places mentioned in the itinerary alone, he said there is nothing to see in those places and tried to do whatever he wanted to do. He also demanded extra money to take us to other places that he proposed but we declined to change the itinerary plan. On the last day, he asked us to take an Uber and go to the railway station and said that drop to railway station will not be done as part of the package. We argued that he needs to drop us at the station, but he refused firmly and said he needs to go home by 3pm and wash his car for the next day’s trip for another family. Overall, we are very disappointed with the cab service. We were totally dependent on him to take us to places, but he made us feel unsafe, uncomfortable and unwelcome. We did not go to all the places planned as part of our itinerary but we enjoyed visiting few places as a family. The boat house experience on the “White Rose” was the best! Our boat driver and cook were very professional and made us feel welcome and safe. The food cooked for us during the boat stay was delicious! We also loved spending time at the “JVK Park Hotel” and we felt at home! Food was great and we spent a lot of time inside the room. Our most memorable and enjoyable part was spending time on the White Rose boat! The lovely scenery, amazing food and 5 star comfort were a highlight to us!

    Ariculatus's 5 days trip to Kumarakom

    The trip ✈️ began with us landing at Kochi airport and then began our journey in a sedan with one of the most polite and helpful driver cum tour guide. It took about 3.5 hour to reach Munnar with rain and curving roads and the view was dark as a night sky without moon. Only road was visible, nothing
    else. At night we ate and recharged our batteries for next day. At 7.00 am next day the magic unfolded, the view was amazing, we were unable to believe we crossed these mountains and views without appreciating it. We enjoyed ride in Hot Air Baloon, activities at Wonder Valley, boat ride at Mattikutty Dam and last Kathakkali Dance viewing before returning to hotel and rest. On third day we proceeded to Thekkady. After reaching there we took Jeep Safari (the road for safari was a road to hell, all your joints and bones would be displaced just in this ride). After that we viewed the tree plantation and enjoyed Elephant ride. Then back to hotel for rest. On fourth day we left for Allapuzha. After 3.5 hours we reached near the boat house alloted to us. There we enjoyed boat ride in heavy rain, it was awesome. Newton's third law for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. With rain came the unbearable humidity, mosquitoes and sleepless night. On fifth day we left for airport and later said goodbye to a Friend, Kerala and took memories made with them. Hopefully we will meet again. Views of Munnar, first Hot Air Baloon ride, Katthakalli Dance, seeing wild elephants on mountain near Sathram view point, tree plantation, first Elephant ride and living a day in boat house in rain.

    Ankush's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

    1. Kovalam (a) Hotel :- (i) Rooms are very basic only OK, had to ask even for electric kettle and they can give only 01 kettle for 03 rooms (ii) Breask fast is complimentary but menu was same for the same day & also not to much to choose (iii) Very far from
    road no parking for vehicle & also you have to walk for the hotel sometime along with your belongings. (iv) Overall it was only a OK stay. 2. Alleppy (a) Houseboat (i) Nice boat, good ambience but staff can be more courteous & helpful (ii) Food menu is also more or less same for dinner as well as for lunch & not to much choose in breakfast, this can be improved (iii) If you ask for extra tea or coffee even with extra payment other than laid out time they will straight away deny it. I think this is very bad attitude for only tea & coffee. (iv) check out time can be extended by one hour 0900hr is very less time for check out time. Hotel— (i) Awesome property, very nice rooms, excellent ambience (ii) Room service & staff was great (iii) All facilities including parking & swimming pool Hotel at Alleppy The Lakeside
