Vembanad Lake
Kumarakom is a vast network of rivers and canals which empty
into the great expanse of water called the Vembanad Lake. The
lake, an enchanting picnic spot and a fast developing backwater
tourism destination, provides boating, fishing and sightseeing
experiences that are truly exhilarating.
The Kumarakom Tourist Village offers houseboat cruises and holiday
packages. The serene lake comes alive during Onam with a spectacular
water regatta - the snake boat races. It is indeed amazing to
watch oarsmen, at least a hundred in one boat, slice their way
through the waters to the fast rhythm of their own full throated
singing.
