About Kottayam
Kottayam sits in central Kerala and is the administrative capital of Kottayam district. The district describes itself as bordered by the Western Ghats to the east and Vembanad Lake, Kuttanad paddy fields, rubber plantations and backwaters to the west. For you, it works best in two ways: stay in Kottayam town for trains, buses and better-value hotels, or base yourself in nearby Kumarakom for lake stays, backwater downtime and birding.
