Lake Vembanad House, Kumarakom

Lying on the edge of Lake Vembanad, this traditional Keralan tharavadu-style homestay, surrounded by lush paddies and the serene backwaters, enjoys an idyllic location. Each of the four simple and delightful rooms in the main bungalow are spacious and elegantly decorated using locally sourced materials and feature exceptional views. Sumptuous home-cooked traditional Keralan delicacies are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while continental food can be arranged with prior notice. The helpful hosts can also organise a visit to the local temple, a village tour, night fishing and a backwaters cruise on a rice barge.
