Why to visit Kumarakom Wildlife Sanctuary
The 14 acres of the bird sanctuary are situated around the Vembanad Lake. An ornithologist's delight, the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary is home to migratory species including the siberian stork, egret, darter, heron, and teal.
A visit to the neighbouring bird sanctuary will introduce you to the diversity of migrating birds that gather in their hundreds, some coming from as far away as Siberia and the Himalayas. Additionally, you might be amazed by the native kingfishers' kaleidoscopic coloration, take a stroll beneath egret and night heron rookeries, see lone golden-backed woodpeckers, and even enjoy the acrobatics of paradise flycatchers.
Local birds including the waterfowl, cuckoo, owl, egret, heron, and water duck, as well as migratory Siberian cranes, are the main draws. During their respective migratory seasons, parrots, teal, larks, flycatchers, wood beetles, and other birds can be observed here. Their niche is made up of aquatic birds, migratory birds, mangrove shorelines, and the famed bird sanctuary. The resorts in the area provide cosy lodging and upscale recreation opportunities like yoga, meditation, Ayurvedic massages, boating, fishing, and swimming. Water sports like windsurfing and waterskiing are available for the daring. Even better, you could paddle a canoe into one of the tranquil lakes with a fishing line in hand to catch your own dinner.
