KOTTAYAM

Kumarakom Backwaters

Majority of the backwaters of Kerala lie in the Kottayam district with a mesh of lagoons, rivers and canals opening up to the Vembanad Lake, offering a panoramic view of the splendid beauty. The backwaters attract major tourists amongst all the Kumarakom tourist places due to its sheer brilliance of placid green water, green hills, Coconut groves and Chinese fishing nets in the backdrop.

Aruvikkuzhi Waterfall

Aruvikkuzhi is a waterfall which is active during the monsoons of Kerala and is all dried up during summers. The place attracts a lot of visitors during the weekends as it is a popular picnic spot due to its natural surroundings. The meandering natural pathways take you to the cascading water falling over rocks.

Vagamon

One of the most stunning destinations out of all the Kumarakom tourist places, is Vagamon. This hill station tucked 1100 metres above sea level is all that a traveller looks for after hectic days in a city bereft of fresh air. This hill station is a chain of mesmerizing hillocks, beautiful valleys, bountiful tea gardens and cascading water.
