Kumarakom has a special type of magic: chirping birds in the trees, gentle air, and placid waters. Backwater Ripples is not just a stay: it is living every moment postcard-style. The mornings here are slow and serene, the afternoons are with blinding sun, and the evenings paint golden hues on the lake. Be it for an adrenaline rush or for complete mellowing, this is the place where you can do it all.
When you think of a Kumarakom lake resort, imagine a spot where nature, comfort, and culture meet beautifully.
What makes Backwater Ripples so special?
More than just the view. It feels like one-on-one time in this place. Watching fishermen row tiny boats with a glass of tender coconut water, barefoot on soft grass, or swaying in a hammock with a book, is glorious fun! The serene ambience washes over you in a warm embrace, forcing you to forget about the rat race.
Staying at a Kumarakom resort like this means you’re in the heart of Kerala’s famous backwaters, with nature right outside your door.
How can you explore the backwaters?
One of the most enjoyable things here is to go on a boat cruise. You can take a houseboat and spend hours cruising along paddy fields, little islands, and greeting villagers. Or you can go on a one or 2-person canoe cruise through smaller canals where you will also spot colourful birds and perhaps a diving kingfisher.
When you’re at a Kumarakom lake resort, exploring the water isn’t just an activity; it’s a way to connect with the soul of the place.
What unique experiences can you enjoy here?
There is always something to do in this area, from the rejuvenating Ayurvedic massages to cooking lessons on how to prepare local Kerala cuisine. Picture yourself enjoying karimeen (pearl spot fish) cooked to perfection with local spices or an Onam celebration filled with flower decorations and music. You can also head to the resort for an interactive cultural show!
These are the moments that make a Kumarakom resort stay so memorable.
Why is sunset time magical here?
Even if you manage to do nothing for the day, make sure you never miss the sunset. As the sun gets lower, the lake changes from orange to pink to gold, and the water also reflects it. Imagine sitting in a boat, warm winds caressing your face, after which you feel like waking up from a dream.
Now, when are you coming? Backwater Ripples awaits you with open arms, amazing views, and unforgettable experiences.

Room was so spacious and tidy as it has all the requirements including two bathrooms and a small lounge area.😍
They provided complimentary tea and snacks in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Food at the restaurant was so tasty 😋 but very costly.
The complimentary boat ride was so interesting . The boat ride was about one hour and I really loved it. Also there was a music cultural program at night for about 1 hour with tabla and guitar. This was also very soothing and awesome. Overall service and this resort marks an excellent place for all those who wish to explore Kumarokom Backwaters in Kerala 💯😍
I came here for an Engagement. The lunch was really tasty – it was the traditional Kerala meals on the leaf.
The view of backwaters is mesmerising. Kids can have a great time as a part of garden has swings. The place is silent and peaceful. One can also see some migratory birds as the bird sanctuary is very close to this resort….
Overall it was a nice experience!
