Hello everybody

I am basically from Mangalore and would like to travel to kumarakkom (Golden waters,kumarakkom)

But i am confused as to how to travel.

I dont know much abt the route.. so can u please help me out..

1. If i travel by train, i can reach cochin,kottayam or alleppy...from where, i can go to the resort..
Can some one tell me what is the distance from alleppy to kumarakkom?

2.I intend to stay in this resort for 3 days and then travel to Munnar(i heard its abt 130-150kms) so what would be the best means of transport..? taxi?(what would be the fare...)

3. what is the best means of travel from Munnar to cochin airport..how much distance etc..

hope i am making my doubts clear.

Thank you

Raj

Mangalore to Kottayam Railway station by train . Overnight mangalore trivandrum train is a good option .From Kottayam railway station resorts in Kumarakom will be in a distance of 12 to 16 kms .Most resorts could offer you a Taci pick up . Kumarakom to Allepey day vist boats are available in season . Or you can take a taxi . Kumarakom to Munnar an intersting taxi way is Kumarakom ---Vaikom --- Koothattukulam ----Vazhakulam --- Kaloor ---OOnnukallu--- Adimali --- Munnar. In this route you avoid all high traffic roads and see th real kerala villages and life. Also from Munnar --- Kothamangalam --- Perunbavoor --- Kalady --- Airport by taxi will be the best option .

On Kumarakom look at the website www.kumarakomtourism.org
though a private site it is informative

which month you are planning
and with whom you are planning
are kids and family members involved
their likes
and the availability of the places
