About Kottayam

Situated in a hilly terrain in the south-central part of Kerala, Kottayam is a slice of green serenity. To the east this beautiful land is flanked by the Western Ghats, home to numerous species of animals. Visit the region during the monsoons or right after and you get to enjoy the green backwaters of Vembanad Lake. Hire a houseboat and enjoy the cruise as you sail past miles of lush paddy fields and rubber plantations. Historically known as a center of great culture and learning Kottayam is where you get to see magnificent churches and temples. St Mary's Church, Valiyapally and St Mary's Church stand gracefully near ancient temples like Thirunakkara and Dharmasastha as a tribute to the cultural diversity of the land. You can also make excursions to the Periyar Sanctuary which is home for tigers, elephants, different kinds of birds, snakes and other animals. Enjoy exploring beautiful Kottatyam.
