    Kumarakom is small town in Kerala, South India. If you're looking for backwaters and are fed up with the crowds & prices at Kovalam, then its well worth checking out kumarakom. The best times to go, are of course in the season, when the beach extends out all around the cliff face for 500 meters.The backwaters around this area are excellent and if you're looking for a cheap holiday kumarakom should definitely be on your list. In the off season its really mellow and relaxed, swim & sleep & chill out. Only in December does it get really busy and prices start rocketing till January/February, when it starts to quieten down. But remember most 'tourist' locations in India with backwaters will be busy during December, if you want to miss the crowd, head for the hills in Kodiakanal-Tamil Nadu. kumarakom has been a Hindu pilgrimage site since the 12th Century. The Janardhana Temple was built during this period and many Hindu's still visit kumarakom to this day, for this very reason.
