Kumarakom City Tours
 

Another of those wondrous places on the backwaters of Kerala, it is over laden with nature beauteous delights. The unending verdant greenery is only punctuated by azure waters that issue deep from nature’s lap. And after your minds and senses are satiated by the scintillating profusion of touch, sights, sounds, and smells, surrender you at the font of pristine lifestyles.

Lose yourself in the bird sanctuary in the 14 acres wide Kumarakom that happened to be a favourite haunt of migratory birds. Egrets, darters, herons, teal, waterfowl, cuckoo, wild duck and migratory birds like the Siberian stork all dart around in nature’s invocation. The sights and sounds that pass by your boat ride are equally magical, mystical!
