Discover the charm of Kumbalangi, a serene green village on the outskirts of Kochi, celebrated as India’s first model fisheries and tourism village. Steeped in tradition and local culture, this 16 sq. km island is surrounded by shimmering backwaters and lush paddy fields. Life here moves to the rhythm of nature, with most locals engaged in fishing, farming, and traditional crafts.

A scenic ring of Chinese fishing nets encircles the island, a striking symbol of its rich aquatic life. The mangrove-fringed shores serve as a natural nursery for prawns, crabs, oysters, and small fish. As you explore, you’ll meet the villagers—fishermen, farmers, toddy tappers, coir spinners—and witness age-old practices that have sustained the community for generations. This tour offers not just a visit, but an authentic immersion into Kerala’s coastal village life.
