| Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary |
Located on the banks of the Vembanad Lake, the bird sanctuary is spread across 14 acres. The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, an ornithologist's paradise is a favourite haunt of migratory birds like the siberian stork, egret, darter, heron and teal. A visit to the bird sanctuary, set within the lush acres of wooded land nearby, acquaints you to the variety of migratory birds that flock in thousands, some from the Himalayas, some even from as far as Siberia. In addition, you can get thrilled of the native kingfishers ablaze in psychedelic colours, experience a walk under rookeries |

of
egrets and night herons or lone golden-backed woodpeckers and even
delight in the acrobatics of the paradise fly-catchers. |
Pathiramanal
(sands of midnight), an enchanting island on the lake, can be accessed

to many rare varieties of migratory birds from different parts of

Vembanad Lake to perform his evening ablutions and the water madeway
for the land to rise from below. The island can be accessed only
by boat. A cruise along the Vembanad Lake is the best way to experience
the sanctuary. |
