Kumarakom

Think a labyrinth of backwaters with shimmering water, the brilliant green of mangrove forests, coconut palms lining the embankments, blue skies, flocks of migratory birds skimming the water and you begin to understand that Kumarakom, a cluster of little islands on the eastern banks of Vembanad Lake in God’s Own Country, is a veritable dreamland.

The Bird Sanctuary is located in this enchanting backwater destination, and is spread across 14 acres. It is a favorite haunt of migratory birds and an ornithologist’s paradise. Egrets, darters, herons, teals, waterfowls, cuckoo, wild duck and migratory birds like the Siberian Stork visit here in flocks to fascinate the visitors.
