10 kms from Kottayam.

78 kms from Cochin.

Also travel half-way by road and take the ferry from Thanneermukkam jetty for Kumarakom..

The Periyar wildlife sanctuary is just 115 kms from Kumarakom.

Kuttanad is one of the very few places in the world, where mode of transportation is through the water ways.  Small canoes to very large 'Kettu Valloms' are used for transportation.   Everywhere in Kuttanad, one can find boats filled to capacity with families travelling to different destinations and also bigger boats carrying goods such as rice, coconut etc.  The fact that even the mail and morning newspaper are delivered by these boats complete the picture.


Houseboat:
  The traditional houseboat of Kerala is one of the most enduring images of the backwaters. These houseboats are converted version of the traditional "Kuttanadan Kettu Valloms", comfortably furnished and offer adequate accommodation for a whole family, with a sitting room, a bedroom and a kitchen.   These palm-covered country boats were designed to carry cargo, such as coconut and spices, and to provide a living accommodation for the boatmen.  A few of them offer holidayers the ultimate backwater experience.  Preserving the historic character and style, our craftsmen have created a unique atmosphere on board, a luxurious, self-contained world from which to observe rural Indian life flowing gently by.  The experience will be quite different from any other holiday.
