Kottayam Canals, Temples & Rubber Country Day Trip

Kottayam

Kottayam is the town the backwaters reach from the east, through a web of canals off the Meenachil river. It has the Thirunakkara Mahadeva temple in the middle of town, a long association with printing and the Malayala Manorama newspaper, and rubber estates all around — the district produces most of India’s natural rubber. The day is the temple, the river and the estates.
