Where the morning arrives by water
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.
