• Kumbalangi, a model fishing village and tourism destination, is located in the southwest region of Kochi, surrounded by the Vembanad lake backwaters. The primary highlight of Kumbalangi includes fishing activities, with Chinese fishing nets dotting the entire island. A wide array of mangroves separates the land from the water, offering a breeding ground for various small fish, prawns, and oysters. Visitors can gain insights into the villagers' rural lifestyle, with Kumbalangi having been developed as an eco-tourism village, the first of its kind in the nation. Engage in local activities such as preparing coconut milk punch, weaving rugs, catching crabs and fish, and processing shellfish and coconut fibers. Unique experiences include observing ola medayal (the crafting of roof coverings from special coconut leaves) and the creation of fishing nets. A delightful lunch featuring local specialties will be enjoyed in an open-air setting, allowing you to take in the refreshing air. No visit to Kumbalangi would be complete without a Kolkali performance, a traditional local dance featuring dancers moving in a circle. After a refreshing visit to Kumbalangi, you will return to the Port.
