Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary & Backwater Day Trip

Kumarakom

Kumarakom is a cluster of islands on Vembanad lake, and its bird sanctuary — 14 acres of mangrove and rubber plantation — is a stopping point for migratory birds from Siberia and the Himalayas between November and February. The day combines the sanctuary walk with a boat on Vembanad, the longest lake in India, and the canals behind it.
