Kumarkom Sightseeing





Kumarkom Sightseeing

This is place surrounded by Palm trees and has amazing backwaters. We checked in at Lakesong Resort in Kumarkom. We were welcomed by chilled Coconut Water, one of the famous drinks of South India.

1. Sunset Cruise Ride

Now this was a complimentary to us by the hotel, but I am sure you can book it from somewhere else too. This one hour cruise ride takes you through the backwaters where you can enjoy a beautiful stretch of palm trees. If you are lucky enough, one can also spot few species of the water birds and their routine activities which included hunting for prey, a rare sight. One of the memorable sights for us was a Kingfisher picking up fish from water. Do not forget to take your cameras here; you surely don’t want to miss capturing the beauty here.

2. Kumarkom Bird Sanctuary

We did not visit this place, as we did not want to get up early in the morning. However, this is a place where nature lovers will enjoy the most. If you are lucky, you will get to see various kinds of bird species here. Do capture these species in your cameras; you might not see them again. Also, remember to be careful while you are in this sanctuary. No litter, no noise as there are lots of birds here. Also, for the best view of this place try to reach as early as 5:00 AM.
