Into the Vembanad Lake"},"content":{"rendered":"

This walkway is at a walking distance from the Kumarakom Govt. Boat Jetty. It’s about 300m long and ends at a roofed viewpoint<\/strong> – the point where the canal join the Vembanad Lake. (View on map<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

There is an adequately sized parking lot right beside the Jetty<\/strong>. A 3oo-metre walk from here, along the canal-side road will get us to the walkway. The walkway is fenced on both sides and fully paved with non-slippery tiles. Savour the view, feel the air, enjoy the walk.<\/p>\n

There is a chapel near the end which is situated in the lake. This dramatic spot has been the location for many films, including the giant-hit Mohanlal flick – Spadikam <\/em><\/strong>(see the screenshots at the end).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The trip could be extended to include a 30 minute<\/strong> (one-way) nonstop boat journey<\/strong> across the Vembanad Lake to Muhamma and back on a Govt. ferry service from the Govt. Jetty. Include a visit to the Bird Sanctuary<\/a><\/strong> located about 3kms away in Kavanattinkara\/Kumarakom Tourist Complex and you have got a solid one-day trip in hand.<\/p>\n

And hey, the Kottayam-Kumarakom road is now super-good from Illickal. It has a Changanacherry-Alappuzha Road feel to it!<\/p>\n
