Often forgotten

  • Checked baggage · About 9 hours of travel each way, airport time included

    Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.

  • Airport transfer · Arriving by air

    The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.

  • Tips and service charges · Any trip

    Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

  • Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip

    Outside the activities line, which budgets what you do, not what you bring home.

A checklist, not a price list: we show an amount only where a named source has published one.

About Kumarakom

A village strung along the eastern shore of Vembanad Lake in Kottayam district, and almost all of it is resorts, Ayurveda centres and houseboat jetties facing the water. There is no town centre to speak of and little to do on foot, so a stay is built around the lake, the bird sanctuary on the old rubber estate, and whatever treatment or boat schedule the property runs. It costs more per day than most of Kerala for a structural reason rather than a seasonal one: the cheap end barely exists here. Kottayam is about 16 km inland and is the rail head, and Kochi is the nearest airport. Two monsoons soak the area, June to September and October into November.
