Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Kumarakom
For most international and domestic travelers, Cochin International Airport (COK) is the clear primary choice, as it is the nearest facility and offers the most efficient, direct transport links to Kumarakom. While all other options—Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (TRV), Calicut International Airport (CCJ), Coimbatore International Airport (CJB), and Madurai Airport (IXM)—are located in neighboring cities and require significantly longer overland travel, they may serve as alternative gateways for travelers combining their trip with other destinations in South India. Specifically, the Cochin airport serves the Kochi metropolitan area, whereas the others serve their respective surrounding districts and do not act as local airports for Kumarakom. Travelers prioritizing comfort should opt for private taxis regardless of the chosen airport, while budget-conscious visitors should rely on the extensive rail and bus networks. It is highly recommended to book your onward transport from the airport arrival hall to ensure reliability, particularly for the longer journeys from more distant airports.

A serene retreat with the kumarakom Lake area. The resort has very attentive staff and there's quite a bit to do and explore within the resort.

The location of the resort by the lake is the highlight. The open dining hall/restaurant and the view of the long nice looking pool(infinity pool according to them) with flowering trees and greenery around it, extending almost upto or giving a visual effect of stretching to the lake is a visual treat. The cool breeze from lake, flows over the pool and reach us giving a soothing effect while dining at restaurant. Food is good enough. Rooms are comfortable enough. I think it was a value for money stay.FromUS$113

I had a wonderful stay at Kumarakom Park Resort. The ambiance was serene and the entire property was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The staff were very hospitable and made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived — the security personnel even assisted with our luggage from the vehicle to the reception. On request, we were given a beautiful room with a pool view, and the pool itself was clean and inviting. Housekeeping responded promptly when we requested floor cleaning, which was much appreciated. The staff also guided us on nearby places to visit, and even the security team was informative and courteous. Overall, the service, attention to detail, and warm hospitality truly stood out. I would highly recommend this place for a peaceful and pleasant stay.FromUS$36

This was undoubtedly the best day/night spent in kerala. One of the best houseboats in the backwater. Staying at kumarakom and availing aqua jumbo was a super decision as not too many boats start from there and the cruise is excellent with land views. The house boat was spacious, each bedroom was nicely done up and the chef, ravi made food better than a hotel cook. Made a trip to the fish market, took a canal cruise and the chef made some delicious snacks with the fresh catch. I would definitely recommend travellers to try the aqua group.FromUS$222
