Kumarakom
 |
Kumarakom is small town in Kerala, South India.If you' re looking for backwaters and are fed up with the crowds & prices at Kovalam, then its well worth checking out kumarakom. The best times to go, are of course in the season, when the beach extends out all around the cliff face for 500 meters. The backwaters around this area are excellent and if you're looking for a cheap holiday kumarakom should definitely be on your list. In the off season its really mellow and relaxed, swim & sleep & chill out.

Only in December does it get really busy and prices start rocketing till January/February, when it starts to quieten down. But remember most 'tourist' locations in India with backwaters will be busy during December, if you want to miss the crowd, head for the hills in Kodiakanal-Tamil Nadu. kumarakom has been a Hindu pilgrimage site since the 12th Century. The Janardhana Temple was built during this period and many Hindu's still visit kumarakom to this day, for this very reason.
Tucked away at the southern tip of peninsular India, sandwiched between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, is a piece of tropical paradise called Kerala. The National Geographic Traveler has listed it among the top ten must see destinations on earth. Kerala, as the cliché goes, is God's own country; and Kumarakom is its sanctum sanctorum. Seemingly afloat on the placid waters of the Vembanad Lake, Kumarakom is a quaint little hamlet of tiny islands about 85 kilometers from Cochin International Airport.
Relish nature’s glory on wings with the world-famous sanctuary at Kumarakom.Taste a touch of rustic Kerala village life with the R-Block and Kainagiri, small islands on the Vembanad Lake. Witness farming of a different kind, farming below water level. Dip your toes in the warmth of the sand stretches of Pathiramanal.
Take a pensive moment before the Buddha statue dating back to 300BC at Karumadikuttom or at the equally ancient St. Kuriakose Church. Savourstrokes of brilliant traditional architecture at the famous temples of Ambalappuzha or partake in the crafting of Kerala’s renowned ‘Snake Boats’ at Chempakkulam. Or just be Fascinated with women expertly fishing with their mere bare hands. And the million other fascinations that Kerala is known for around the world.
