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.

Prabeeshthillenkery's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

Agent staff need to improve their behaviour after payment received from customer also. Commitments before doing payment and performance after payment was different.Owner of the agent promised that i can pay my payment through travel triangle app or at alappuzha office. But agent staff compelled to give payment to driver and hotel as cash. So i it affected my financial plan. I couldnt operate creditcard emi option because of this agents bad behaviour.Travel triangle site also very poor support. No updation after payment.Driver and house boat service was good. House boat food was good

Rituraj's 4 days trip to Kumarakom

All things were superb. Good hotels with good food. Houseboat was most amazing specially fish fry dish on boat. Services across all places were good n staff were helpful too. I would also like to specially mention our Driver – Rajeev ,such a humble person,he added more fun to the trip. His driving is safe, superb and even the small restaurants or stops that he took for breaks were good . He was extremely co-operative, understanding and was genuinely helping us (communication with local peoples at shops) with whatever we were expecting in our trip to Kerala. View of tea garden was awesome.. All things were superb. Good hotels with good food. Houseboat was most amazing specially fish fry dish on boat.

Mradul's 5 days trip to Kumarakom

The travel agent hides few things while sharing itinerary. Also provided a very old houseboat which was very dirty. The badsheet had a dirty smell (changed in night). Few hairs were found in the rice. Overall a very very good 3 days were spoiled on 4th day at the houseboat. A very low quality cake was provided as honeymoon inclusion. No fruit basket was there as mentioned in the itinerary. Several places were not covered, driver said these were optional, but didn't mentioned in itinerary. Stay at Munnar and thekkedy was awesome.
