Reviews Of Vembanad Lake
Alleppey , Kerala, India
Vembanad Lake, also known locally as Vembanad Kayal or, in the Alappuzha area, as Punnamada Lake, is the longest lake in India and the largest lake in the state of Kerala. This colossal body of water is the lifeline of the famous Kerala Backwaters tourism and a critical component of the local ecos ystem. Stretching for over 96.5 KM in length and spanning an area of over 2033 square KM, it is a vast network of lagoons, canals, and estuaries fed by several major rivers, including the Meenachil, Achankovil, Pampa, and Manimala. The lake eventually opens into the Arabian Sea at Kochi. This extensive wetland system is a designated Ramsar site, highlighting its international importance for conservation. The lake is culturally significant, being the stage for the legendary Nehru Trophy Boat Race every August or September. A major part of the lake near Alappuzha is characterized by the tranquil passage of hundreds of traditional Kettuvallams (houseboats), which have been converted from their original use as rice and spice transport vessels into luxurious floating accommodations. The surrounding region, particularly Kuttanad, known as the 'Rice Bowl of Kerala', benefits directly from the lake's water resources, supporting cultivation that often happens below sea level. The lake is a biodiversity hotspot, teeming with a unique array of fish, birds, and aquatic plants. The constant movement of water transport, from large houseboats to small shikaras and traditional fishing canoes, paints a vibrant picture of local life and tourism coexisting. Islands like Pathiramanal are jewels in its crown. The famous Thanneermukkom Bund, a large saltwater barrier, divides the lake into two sections—one with brackish water and one with freshwater—a marvel of engineering to aid rice cultivation. The scenic beauty, coupled with the cultural richness and ecological importance, makes the Vembanad Lake the quintessential experience of any visit to Alappuzha.
