It is about 1.5 km. from Muhamma Boat Jetty and about 13 km. from Alappuzha. This island is at the centre of Lake Vembanad and is a safe haven for a different variety of birds that migrate here every year. Wondering how to get there? It is quite easily accessible only by boat. And, if you are already on a houseboat tour on Alleppey backwaters, this island is the perfect pit stop to spot some of the rarest species of birds. The name &#8216;Pathiramanal&#8217; means &#8216;Sands of Night&#8217;. Estimates say that the area has 91 local species of birds and 50 migratory birds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-alappuzha-lighthouse%25c2%25a0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Alappuzha_Lighthouse\"><\/span>3. .

Located just outside Alleppey in Kayamkulam village is an 18th-century palace that people hardly ever visit which makes it perfect for history lovers who hate crowds! With red gabled roofs and ornate pillars, Krishnapuram Palace is one of the unique places to visit in Kerala that truly brings out the state&#8217;s tradition at its best. The palace&#8217;s ancient murals tell stories from the Hindu epics Mahabharata and Ramayana which date back hundreds of years. Its Durbar Hall holds grand sculptures of Krishna and Radha while the antique museum displays regal memorabilia. But the true attraction of this spot, which is what most people visit is the Gajendra Moksham mural. It is a minutely detailed depiction of Vishnu saving an elephant from a crocodile all carved onto one huge granite slab that spans 49 sq. ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"6-kayaking-in-alleppey\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Kayaking_in_Alleppey\"><\/span>6.

When I'm not chatting travel dreams into existence, I'm brewing up blog adventures for StayVista. With chai in one hand and wanderlust in my heart; travelling and shaping vacation concepts into great itineraries is something that thrills me. Writing a perfectly planned getaway for someone? It's like sharing a delicious box of Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans - you never know what reaction you'll get (but hopefully, mostly happy surprises!). So, buckle up fellow explorers, and grab your broomsticks - because we're off to explore somewhere incredible with every post!","url":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/author\/priyankak\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13374"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13387,"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13374\/revisions\/13387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
