Sunrise Canoeing With Village Experience in Kumarakom overview
About Kumarakom:
Kumarakom is a village located along the edge of Lake Vembanad in the Kottayam district of Kerala. The area consists of inland waterways, cultivated fields, and residential settlements arranged close to the canals. Activities such as fishing, farming, and coir processing are commonly seen and are part of the daily routine. Certain parts of the village remain accessible only by boat, and movement through the canals continues to be a part of regular transport. The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary is also located nearby, and seasonal changes bring a range of bird species to the area. The village continues to function within a setting shaped by water, vegetation, and long-established patterns of use. The Sunrise Canoeing with Village Experience is structured as an early morning activity that moves through this setting at an unhurried pace, following the course of canals and paths used in daily routines.
About Sunrise Canoeing With Village Experience in Kumarakom:
The journey starts at Canoe Kerala Boat Jetty, situated just below Cheepunkal Bridge.
