Kumarakom sits on the eastern shore of Vembanad, Kerala's largest lake, and it is the quieter half of the backwaters. Days here are measured in boat rides and long lunches: a houseboat drifting past paddy bunds, a bird sanctuary that wakes before you do, and a sunset cruise where the water turns the colour of weak tea.
