Kottayam a combination of two words "Kotta" meaning 'Fort' and "Akkam" meaning 'Inside'. Kottayam has three types of landscapes-low, middle and high. It is situated on the southern part of Kerala and is famous as the "Land of Lakes, Latex and Letters". A network of canals and lakes crisscrosses the entire region. The Kottayam backwater is one of the most exotic and popular backwaters destinations in Kerala. A cruise, which begins at Alleppey, finishes at Kottayam. Kottayam backwater cruise is a one-night trip through the legendary Punnamada Lake. It would prove to be an experience of a lifetime as you pass through the palms bordering the lake, paddy fields below the sea level and toddy tappers busy at work.
While on Kottayam Backwaters Cruise, do visit the famous St. Mary's Church, St. Joseph's Monastery, Ettumanoor Shiva Temple and Thirunakkara Mahadeva Temple.
