    Everybody should get and explore the wonders of wild life habitates. Kumarakom is really a wonderful place to spend holidays. Though it is famous for its back waters ride ayurvedic treatment rejuvenation camps, there is a bird sanctuary too. I Love kerala for the un politicised and un polluted nature.
