Karma Chakra, Kerala

Nestling on the palm-fringed shores of Kerala’s largest lake called Lake Vembanad which covers 213 square Kms.

This beautiful 24 room boutique resort provides the perfect hideaway from which to explore this rich and verdant region. All rooms have a view of the lake.

Step on to your private balcony to drink in the sweeping views across the resort’s lush, sprawling gardens to the bustling lake and tropical landscape beyond. There’s a whole world of tranquil backwaters, alluring beaches and incredible wildlife out there, just waiting to be discovered. But there’s no rush. Take a dip in the infinity pool, feed your soul with an Ayurvedic massage or indulge in a signature cocktail before dinner…

Location

Karma Chakra sits in the picture-perfect village of Kumarakom on the banks of Vembanad, Kerala’s largest lake. Head to the resort’s private jetty where we moor our own traditional Keralan house boat, with two double on suite bedrooms with a full crew and a cook. Special rates for cruises of varying length from two hours to an overnight apply to all our Members. Catch a fish and have it prepared and cooked for lunch.

Kerala is a haven for nature-lovers: there are 12 wildlife sanctuaries and two national parks within easy reach of the resort. This is a landscape full of surprises. You may well spot a leopard, elephant or even a Bengal tiger while you’re here. Kumarakom itself is a favourite haunt of beautiful migratory birds, such as the Siberian stork.

There is plenty to excite culture-lovers, too – including an intoxicating mix of art, architecture and literature. So get ready to be inspired…

How to get there

Fly to Cochin international airport, from which Karma Chakra is a scenic 85km drive, taking approximately two hours.

The nearest railway and bus stations are 12km away at Kottayam – around 40 minutes away by road. Airport and station transfers can be arranged on request.
