Ringed by the pristine backwaters of the state, Kumbalangi is the first of its kind eco-friendly tourist village. Rife with flora and fauna, this village is a quaint retreat amidst nature. Lined with mangroves that cut the land from water, the village is an ideal site to see the popular Chinese fishing nets. Tourists can indulge in activities like boat cruising and fishing that are an idyllic way to explore the surroundings. Interestingly, plastic is banned in the village and there are no man-made structures here.

 

Tourists can also visit the artist's village of Kalagramam, where you can see mesmeric displays of handicrafts and fishing equipment. A popular activity to indulge in is bait-fishing. Visitors can also book homestays in many houses and enjoy a real village life experience.
