Some of Kerala's most attractive scenery lies within easy access of Kottayam.

The beautiful Kumarakom bird sanctuary, in the backwaters to the west, is best visited at dawn before the hoards of day-trippers arrive. Aranmula to the south is one of the last villages still making kannady metal mirrors, and has a Krishna temple that organizes a ritual "non-competitive" boat race.

The Mahadeva temple at Ettumanur,a short way north of Kottayam, is known to devotees as the home of a dangerous and wrathful Shiva, and to art-lovers as a sublime example of temple architecture, adorned with woodcarvings and murals.
