|
|
Kalathil Resorts is a luxury retreat located on the banks of beautiful Vembanad Lake in the heart of the famous Kerala Backwaters. It is the perfect place for a holiday; somewhere to rest and relax from the busy workplace; the ideal spot for a honeymoon or anniversary celebration; somewhere to rest the mind and body. More importantly for the people working and running Kalathil Resorts is the satisfaction gained from knowing that our guests so enjoyed their stay that they are planning their return even before the resort gates close on their vehicle. Kalathil Resorts at north Kumarakom (Chammanakery) comprises of ten aesthetically designed Water View Villas overlooking the Vembanad Lake and sixteen Canal View Villas , thus providing us with a spectacular view. Interspersed with meandering canals and paved walkways, the resort is quite a sight to behold with its sheltered Aquatic Spa, Fresh Water Pond, Manicured Lawns & Swaying Coconut Palms. |

Boating
Boating is available on picturesque Lake Vembanad – the resort has a small speedboat which holds 7 people plus driver. A larger slower boat can be arranged on request. A trip on the lake is a delight whatever time of day it is taken. Early morning, as the mist lifts from the Lake, local fishermen can be seen in their easily identifiable sailboats. This is a must photo opportunity for everyone with a camera. Later in the day is an ideal time as the cooler breeze from the lake compensates for the heat of the land. Evening has its own special beauty as the sunsets over the waters.
The Lake comprises many beautiful coconut palm filled islands where one bypasses local peoples busy with their daily chores but always with time to wave a friendly hello. Whilst the lake is tidal from the Arabian Sea, it is calm and safe for all types of cruising.
Pedal & canoe boating
We have some smaller boats for the more energetic guests – pedal boat around our inner lake, canoe down our water canals between the cottages and landscape gardens and see the fish and frogs that abound. This is a very relaxing and extremely safe place for children of all ages. |

Vembabad Lake
Kottayam is a vast network of rivers and canals which empty into the great expanse of Lake Vembanad which in turn joins the Arabian Sea at Cochin. Hence the Lake is tidal and saltwater. The lake is an enchanting place full of palm filled islands, fishing and exotic birds. Some of the islands are privately owned and others can be visited to observe local village people producing coir..
The Lake is most famous for the snake boat races which take place during Onam – a special Hindu festival celebrated only in Kerala. This is an amazing sight with lots of brightly decorated boats racing on the lake, with at least
