Vaikom - Tourist attraction in Vaikom - Kottayam, India

An important temple town on the side of the Vembanad lake. Ferry across the lake from Vaikom. Not many multi story buidings. Compatratively the town ha snot seen much development. Good sunset view.

Vaikom is a well-known town in Kerala. It carries a lot of history. But Vakom has no development according to its fame. Still has the narrow roads, uncompleted bridges, poor planning, etc.

Its very beautiful area to sit, we can spend our precious weakends by sitting the banks of lake.. Dome times a mild breeze will come. And above all this its an amazing moment to stay there

Nice Lake View With Boat Sevice

Nice view point of nature

Good and nice place, Shiva Temple Lake side view, beach view,. Evening special sunset

It is my native place .I love this place..

Vaikom is the oldest township in Kottayam district, and among the oldest in South India.The Vaikom Shiva Temple, known as Thekkan Kashi (Southern Kashi), is the heart of the town, and is remarkable for the Vaikom Ashtami celebrations during November. Vaikom was believed to be a part of a kingdom called Venmalanadu in the past. When Venmalanadu was split into Vadakkumkoor and Thekkumkoor, it became part of Vadakkumkoor dynasty.
