Famous for its scenic beauty and legendary achievements in education, Kottayam is a prominent center of culture, plantation and tourism. The small Central Kerala town is widely, and quite fittingly, known as the land of letters, lakes and latex.
Kottayam is 90km away from the Kochi International Airport and is well connected via road and railway. The climate is moderate and very pleasant, and the temperature varies from 20.8%uFFFDC to a maximum of 34.1%uFFFDC in summer.
A very old cultural and commercial center, the Kottayam town itself is testimonial to its rich history. The town is dotted with many centuries-old worship places and educational institutions. Being a major center of Syrian Christians, Kottayam has some of the most elegantly built churches that feature temple architectural influences. The Kottayam Cheriya Palli and Valiya Palli are around 500 years old and built by the Hidu kings who ruled the place then. The Thirunakkara Shiva Temple built in the 16th century is at the heart of the town. The millennium old Thazhathangady Juma Masjid is situated at the banks of river Meenachil.
One of the most visited tourist destinations in the state, Kumarakom is just 13km from Kottayam town. Kumarakom offers some of the finest resorts and a grand boating in the Vembanadu Lake.
