Kumbalangi
Island Village, Kerala - A rural tourism
destination in Kerala
The distant vanchipattu (boatman's son)
rhythmically welcomes you to Kumbalangi,
an idyllic model tourist village in Kerala.
Serene stretches of backwaters, boat cruises,
Chinese net fishing, crab culture, 'pokkali'
(organic rice) paddy fields, mangroves
and the best of weather. An ideal rural
destination for tourists for those who
want to experience the God's Own Land
magic. Venture into the sea with the fishermen
for some adventurous fishing at the break
of dawn to get the freshest catches of
the sea. And if you thought that this
early morning catch of fresh crabs and
fishes is the highlight of the day, you
are wrong, there is still a whole day
ahead of you. Backwater cruise walks into
the paddy field to 'toil' with the farmers
and picnics at the mangroves. Bedazzled
by the simplicity of this friendly village
of farmers, fishermen and boatmen who
will entertain you with their cuisine
and folklore's, on night cruises on a
kettu vallam on the backwaters under the
night sky.
