HISTORY :
Kumarakom- Haven of Serenity,Kerala is a minor destination
comprised of a collection of small islands in the state of Kerala. Before its
popularity as a tourist town, Kumarakom was an area located near a marshy
mangrove on the edge of the Vembanad lake.
In 1878, George Alfred Baker, a missionary from Essex, England, set about clearing the mangrove and replacing it with coconut plantations. Baker was so taken aback by the beauty of Kumarakom- Haven of Serenity,Kerala that he decided to make it his home and in doing so he became the catalyst for development in the area.
