15 places in Kottayam, Kerala that are great to visit with kids
Kottayam, a city nestled in central Kerala, is a land of striking contrasts. Framed by the majestic Western Ghats on the east and the serene Vembanad Lake and Kuttanad’s sprawling paddy fields on the west, Kottayam offers a unique blend of natural beauty, rich heritage, and cultural vibrancy.
Famously known as “Akshara Nagari” or “City of Letters,” Kottayam boasts a remarkable legacy of literacy and literary contributions. It was home to the first printing press in Kerala established in 1821 and witnessed the dawn of English education in South India in 1813.
