Kumarakom is in the heart of Kuttanad, a ‘Wonder Land’, lying below sea level, comprising of a number of islands, in the backwaters.

The beautiful river Pennar winds it’s way through the Kumarakom countryside before it ends up in the lake..

 Amidst these scenic locales ……. near the confluence of the serene Vembanad lake and the beautiful Pennar river is the MANOR BACKWATER RESORT.

 Only a kilometer away from the Kumarakom bird sanctuary, many migratory birds are constant and welcome visitors at the resort.

 You are at a vantage point for the backwater and Lake cruises being right on the backwaters and a stone’s throw from the lake boat jetty.

 It is also an ideal starting point for several excursions  ,being only 12 kms away from Kottayam at the foothills of the Western Ghats –home to historic remnants, Alappuzha ,ideal to cruise to from Kumarakom and Kochi, a bustling city but with its own tourist quarter.

 What is wonderful is that you could do all these by water and right from the doorstep of the resort which is located on the water highway!

 It is also a vantage point for many people who travel to Thekkady in the hills,the holy Hindu shrines of Sabarimala or Guruvayur or even Classical Tiruvananthapuram  and Kanyakumari at the tip of the Indian peninsula.
