The True Kerala Village Experience -
A Responsible Tourism Endeavour
The Experience
Kumarakom is a cluster of small picturesque islands around the Vembanad Lake. The village is well acclaimed for its backwaters, delicious cuisines and greenery. This tourist destination, over the years, is one of the most-visited in Kerala. Our journey begins at Kavanatinkara after a briefing session. You will be accompanied by a guide who will familiarize you to the picturesque landscapes and the lush green surroundings of Kumarakom.
Stopover 1 : Covered Canopy
Your journey begins in a covered canopy, over the lake flanked by greens, to the Manjira village and a friendly welcome from the villagers.
Stopover 2 : At the top of a coconut tree
At the first house you stop by, learn how the times changed, and witness the two ways of climbing a coconut tree-the laborious traditional way using a thalappu and the modern way using latest instruments.
Stopover 3 : Taste of tender coconut
Drop by at a villager's home and get to taste sweet coconut water and fresh tender coconut.
Stopover 4 : toddy tapping

Stopover 5 : Gowri's home
Gowri takes you through the art of weaving coconut leaves. And you can try a hand at it too!

STOPOVER 7 : LATHA'S HOUSE
Latha's home is where you get to watch the fascinating process of coir-making. Check out the various steps involved and try your hand at coir spinning.
