Calming Kumarakom Houseboat Tour Package

Kumarakom is a beautiful destination that can be visited all year round. However, winters are the most pleasant since the average minimum temperature ranges from 18- to 20 degrees Celsius, and is ideal for Kumarakom houseboat rides and local sightseeing. But the duration from March up till May witnesses a heavy decrease in the number of tourists, and is therefore a great time to grab awesome deals on hotel accommodation and tour packages. Apart from this, the summers are a wonderful time to explore the city at your own pace since it is not very crowded. Monsoons are again ideal for planning a holiday in Kumarakom and witnessing Kerala in all its glory.

Apart from backwaters, Alleppey is famous for its beaches, boat races, coir products, and Ayurvedic spa, and wellness centres. One can also go shopping in Mulakkal, which is 4 kilometres away from Alleppey and can get some souvenirs, coir bags, rugs as well as some native spices.

Alleppey’s cuisine has a lot to offer. Delight your taste buds by trying the Ghee roast dosa and Malayalee parontha. Other than the famous Appams and Idlis, one can also give “Toddy” a try which is a locally fermented alcoholic beverage. Rice wine is another indigenous beverage that cannot be missed.

The Nehru Trophy Snake Boat Race is an annual event that is famous all over the world. It is a popular event that is organised on the Punnamada Lake near Alleppey, and it takes place every year on the second Saturday of August. It is a unique spectacle that retains the festive spirit of the village and cannot be missed when in Kumarakom.

Sunscreen, sunglasses, head gear, and cotton clothes are a must when vacationing in Kumarakom during the summers. During monsoons however, don’t forget to pack your raincoats and umbrellas to enjoy the scenic beauty of Kerala unhindered.
