Vembanad Lake
3 Recommendations: 3 Favorable,
A slow journey through the inner roads under the shadow of tall graceful coconut palms is advisable to see the vast paddy fields below sea level dewatered and cultivated. Most of the village part you can cover by a small motor boat. Travel through canals viewing the village life on both sides gives you an unforgettable experience and pleasure. Water side activities of fishing, toddy- tapping, rice growing, along the palm lined banks and narrow strips of land that separate the waterways, and the constant quiet traffic of traditional dugouts are typical. From the boat you can see many varieties of plants such as coconuts, jack fruits, banana and cassava growing.

Arcadia Hotel

Its a business type Hotel with BAR in downstairs & upstairs. Good for one night (or maximum 2 night) stay. Kumarakom Hotels are very expensive, so that its better for budget travelers to stay at Kottayam & have visit to Kumarakom.

A really cool place. Ask for Shaiju - he could guide you as well as get answers to your every need in the area. Located right on the Kalvathy road towards the Boat jetty and the famous Chinese fishing nets. The restaurant is a very cool place to hang out with Rasta style paintings adorning the walls. There is even a mini swimming pool out on the first floor deck.
