Kumarakom Village Life & Canal Canoe Day Trip

Kumarakom

The narrow canals behind Kumarakom are too small for a houseboat, which is exactly why a country canoe is the right way through them. The day is slow: a coir yard where coconut husk is beaten and spun by hand, a toddy tapper up a palm, a paddy field below lake level, and lunch cooked in a village home. This is the Kerala that people come for and rarely actually see.
