Pathiramanal can be accessed 1 1/2 hours by motor boat/30 min. by speedboat from Alappuzha: According to mythology a young brahmin dived into the Vembanad Lake to perform his evening ablutions and the water made way for land to rise from below, thus creating the enchanting island of Pathiramanal (sands of midnight). This little island on the backwaters is a favourite haunt of hundreds of rare migratory birds from different parts of the world. The island lies between Thaneermukkom and Kumarakom, and is accessible only by boat.

Kumarakom
Kottayam has a vast network of rivers and canals, which empty into the great expanse of water called the Vembanad Lake, 16 km from Kottayam town.
The lake, an enchanting picnic spot and a fast-developing backwater tourism destination, provides boating, fishing and sightseeing experiences, which are truly exhilarating.
The Kumarakom Tourist Village offers houseboat cruises and holiday packages.
The serene lake comes alive during Onam with a spectacular water regatta- the snake boat races. It is indeed amazing to watch oarsmen, at least a hundred in one boat, slice their way through the waters to the fast rhythm of their own full throated singing.
