Kumarakom is on the eastern shores of the Vembanad Backwater, sixteen kilometers from Kottayam, the Town of Letters, Latex and Leisure. On the southern bank of Kavanar river, immediately opposite  Coconut Lagoon is a small bird sanctuary where numerous species of birds, including Darters, Bitterns, Brahminy kites, Marsh Harries, Teals and several varieties of Herons roost.  For an inquisitive bird watcher, it is always advisable to carry their binoculars at all times.  A five minute boat ride from Coconut Lagoon, followed by a short stroll on the other side will get you there.  Walk along the stream until you come to a small log bridge,  across it and, presto, you are in the sanctuary.  A 6.00 am start is the best.
