We have put together a list of options for sightseeing on a Kumarakom package: 

• Houseboat Ride

A ride on a traditional thatched-roof houseboat is a major highlight for tourists coming into Kerala. The famous Kerala backwaters draw travelers from all over the world. Although the Alleppey backwaters are more famous, couples who would like a quiet time traversing the backwaters, Kumarakom is a better option. With far lesser noisy crowds to deal with, a couple can enjoy their long-awaited houseboat ride with only each other for company. And if you are planning a Kumarakom package during August/September, you are in for a surprise. During Onam, boat races are held in the backwaters. Intricately painted and decorated long snake boats compete in fun-filled competition with thousands of spectators standing on the shore to cheer them up. The parades that precede the races offer glimpses of the art and culture of the state and the region. While looking for Kumarakom tour packages, make sure you have this thing included.

• Bird Sanctuary

The place is a major highlight of most Kumarakom tour packages. The Kumarakom Bird sanctuary has been developed in a former rubber plantation. After painstaking efforts from the authorities, the sanctuary now sprawls over 14 acres and is home to numerous indigenous and migratory bird species. Even though you might not be an expert in recognizing the various birds but the sight of those colorful birds in all shapes and sizes is sure to make you quite joyful. Here you can catch a glimpse of several migratory birds like the Siberian stork, egret, darter, heron, and teal fly from the Himalayas and some even from Siberia. Local birds like waterfowl, cuckoo, owl, egret, heron and water duck also add to the beautiful painting. And if you are up for it, you can visit the sanctuary on a canoe!
