HISTORY
There is a long tiled pathway that separates the Vembanad Lake on the left and the fish farm on the right. As you walk down the path, the only sounds you will hear are those of waves lashing the bank, the birds chirping and an occasional motor boat on the waters. There are a couple of multi storied buildings where you can sit and take in the beauty of the place. They also double up as view points – and trust us, the view gets better as you move to the top floor.
