Why is Kumarakom more attractive, enjoyable and relaxing to the tourists compared to other places in the Districts of Alleppey and Ernakulam?

Why has Kumarakom been chosen the place for the Honorable Prime Minister to have his holidaying for more than a week?

Well, the answer is simple and is quite interesting. The Arabian Sea is on the west and Kumarakom is on the east and we can experience the beautiful Sunset .The breeze mostly blows from west to east and so the Vembanad Lake at Kumarakom, is having more cool breeze and more powerful waves. Moreover, the Lake is having its maximum length (25Kms) and breadth (7 kms.) at these area at Kumarakom, here lies the reason behind the beauty of Vembanad Lake at Kumarakom. All over the world one can try to experience the Sea, as the sea is very common, but people cannot enjoy the Sea in it’s maximum, as there is severe breeze, dangerous waves, deadly undercurrents, dangerous Sharks and other kinds of fish etc. therefore it is usually not wise to experience the Sea for swimming, boating etc

"An unbelievably beautiful paradise of mangrove forests, emerald green paddy fields and coconut groves interspersed with enchanting waterways and canals adorned with white lilies. Situated on the Vembanad Lake, in this small water world you'll come across plenty of traditional country crafts, boats and canoes which will take you into the heart of the scenic lake.
