Along the Way
The Drive from Kochi to Kumarakom
Drivers collect you anywhere from Kadavanthra and Vyttila to Fort Kochi heritage hotels. An Ernakulam to Kumarakom taxi heads south from Vyttila, and an Ernakulam South to Kumarakom taxi suits travellers stepping off a train. The driver confirms your resort check-in time before leaving. The faster Kochi to Kumarakom via Thanneermukkom route follows NH 66 to Cherthala, then turns east. It crosses the Thanneermukkom bund, a long barrier across Vembanad Lake built to keep seawater out of the rice fields. Water stretches out on both sides here, and drivers slow down for photos. Some guests prefer the Kochi to Kumarakom via Vaikom road through Tripunithura. It passes the Vaikom Mahadeva Temple, one of Kerala oldest shrines, and rejoins the lake road near the bund. Temple timings vary, so the driver plans the stop around them. The Kochi to Kumarakom distance by road is about 60 km either way. After the bund, the final stretch runs past paddy fields below lake level, coconut-fringed canals and small village churches. Kingfishers and egrets are common sights along the canals. Most drops are lakefront resorts along the Kumarakom road. A Kochi to Kumarakom bird sanctuary taxi stops at the sanctuary entrance, where trails lead through mangroves to the water edge. Bay Island Driftwood Museum is another short, unusual stop nearby.
