Getting To Kumarakom From Kottayam

If There Are No Flood Concerns:-
Travelers can enjoy a straightforward route from Kottayam through ILLIKKAL Junction to Kumarakom.

 

In Case of Flood Issues At ILLIKKAL Junction:-

Start from Kottayam, navigate through Baker Junction, pass CMS College, take a right turn at Chalukunnu Junction (Medical College Route), then proceed through Kudayampadi, Enadi Kavala, and Kadathu Kadavu Junction. Finally, turn right to join the Kottayam-Kumarakom Road.

 

 

If Flooding Impacts the Kottayam-Kumarakom Road:-

Alternative Route
