Found in the popular state of Kerala, Kumarakom is a beautiful, tropical location that is in India. This cluster of small picturesque islands is clustered around the remarkable Vembanad Lake. The landscape makes this a perfect place to not only visit, but also to explore in depth.

This small town was established by the Indian government as a part of a special preservation effort. Since preservation is the predominant goal around this area, the landscape remains impressive and pristine. An abundance of breathtaking views abound in this location. The soil found in Kumarakom is especially fertile, so impressive paddy fields, mangrove forests, and coconut groves can be found throughout the small islands. The lush greenery is an amazing sight and is soothing to the soul. It is so beautiful that this cluster of islands is an especially popular destination for honeymooners.

Thousands of migratory birds flock to this area every year. Numerous people travel to Kumarakom with the strong desire to witness the sight of so many remarkable birds all in one location.

This beautiful city has numerous small fishing skiffs throughout the town. With both salt water and fresh water surrounding Kumarakom, it makes sense that there are numerous varieties of fish that are fit for consumption that can be found there. Excellent marine and freshwater fish including tasty karimeen (also known as pearl spotted fish), shrimp, and prawns are available in the area.

Experiencing the backwater and ayurvedic massage are two other reasons that countless tourists flock to Kumarakom.
