Location
The Taj Garden Restreat Kumarakom is in the coastal state of Kerala in south west India on the banks of Lake Vembanad, the country’s longest lake. Its waters are populated by dozens of traditional wooden kuttuvalam houseboats, and you can hop on board for a cruise along the lake’s peaceful backwaters. Other local activities include trips to fascinating spice and rubber plantations, cycling along scenic tropical pathways, temple arts tours and treks to the nearby bird sanctuary.
