Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary:
Located on the banks of the Vembanad Lake, the bird sanctuary is spread across 14 acres. The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, an ornithologist's paradise is a favourite haunt of migratory birds like the siberian stork, egret, darter, heron and teal. A visit to the bird sanctuary, set within the lush acres of wooded land nearby, acquaints you to the variety of migratory birds that flock in thousands, some from the Himalayas, some even from as far as Siberia. In addition, you can get thrilled of the native kingfishers ablaze in psychedelic colours, experience a walk under rookeries of egrets and night herons or lone golden-backed woodpeckers and even delight in the acrobatics of the paradise fly-catchers.

Experience the romance of a Sunset or Sunrise Cruise No trip to Kumarakom is complete without a Kettuvallam (local boat) sunset or sunrise cruise. The ride offers a close look into the delightful local rural life. Skiff-fishermen launch their tiny boats, large flotillas of ducks waddle down to the water from coconut leaf thatched houses and palm-filled lagoons, you get an enchanting view of wooded islands and the mainland both of which create poetically beautiful scenes.
