Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary , Kumarakom India, Kerala

  • Info
  • Holidays
  • Map

Today you will visit the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, an ornithologist's paradise - which 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.

Later on a walk through the village, you will stop briefly at the Khadi Weaving Centre to see villagers produce hand-spun and hand-woven cloth out of cotton, silk or wool yarns. In the village center, you will also see how the local people earn their livelihoods. Ladies weave coir ropes from dried coconut husks, and you’ll see straw mats being woven out of wild pineapple leaves. Watch the local potter create a range of pots and vases, depicting ethnic designs in clay. You will be invited inside a local house for a chance to interact with the family members before you return to the pier. 

You can book this experience on its own, with flights or as part of an Experience Travel Holiday Itinerary.
