Location : Kumarakom Lake
Resort is at Kumarakom in Kottayam District in the State of Kerala,
South India. The beauty of any tourist location in Kerala is that
it is always just a few miles from the nearest city linking you
to all major cities in India and to the world. And Kumarakom too
is delightfully tucked away. At the same time it is, equally and
easily accessible. From the Cochin International Airport it is a 70 Km delightful ride by road to the Muhamma boat Jetty. The resort is a few minutes away across the river. The enchanting boat ride to the resort from here will take less than 20 minutes. A bridge is coming up here which will facilitate even faster access. From the Trivandrum
International Airport it is a 171 Km (approximately 3 hours ride
by road) to the Muhamma boat jetty. From Mumbai
( Bombay) , Chennai (Madras) , Delhi , Kolkatta (Calcutta) or Bangalore,
you can take a train to Kerala. The best place to alight is either
Cochin ( Ernakulam ) or Kottayam (the nearest railhead to the resort,
just 16 Km away by road). Kottayam links you to all major cities
in Kerala and India with numerous trains plying this route daily.
From Cochin, you could also take a south bound train via the Alleppey
route |

Climate
Kumarakom, located on the Southern coast of India enjoys a well-balanced
tropical climate. Nature has composed its magic to perfection here. A
million verdant coconut palms lining the rivers lean to examine its reflections
on the glassy rivers. Everywhere, nature is at its best. Blooming forth
in perfumes of flowers. In the riot of colours of multi-hued birds. In
the fresh, succulent and bountiful freshwater fishes…
The local spring season
emerges from August and coincides with the harvest festival of Onam.
The lowest and highest temperatures recorded are 16.10 C and 37.80 C. There is always a cool, fresh breeze, which makes even the warmest weather readily agreeable.
