FAQs On Nattakom Backwaters

Kottayam, Kerala, India
Nattakom is a hidden gem located on the outskirts of Kottayam town, offering a more serene alternative to the busy Kumarakom. This area is characterized by vast stretches of emerald green waters, palm-fringed canals, and traditional villages. The backwaters here are formed by the Meenachil River and the Kodoor River merging into the Vembanad Lake. It is a major hub for migratory birds, especially during the summer months. Life in Nattakom moves at a slow pace, with locals engaged in fishing, coir making, and toddy tapping. Unlike other commercialized backwater spots, Nattakom retains its authentic rural charm. Visitors can take country boat rides through narrow canals to witness village life up close. The area is also known for its 'Below Sea Level' farming, similar to Kuttanad. The sunset views over the backwaters are truly breathtaking and attract many local photographers. It is an excellent spot for those looking for a peaceful day trip without traveling far from the city center. The proximity to the Government College Kottayam and various small temples adds a cultural dimension to the visit. Nattakom is essentially the soul of Kottayam's water-bound heritage.
