Pathiramanal
The area around the Kayaloram Lake Heritage Resort abounds in many delightful and secluded spots that are ideal for family and group picnics. Pathiramanal, meaning’ sands of midnight’, is a picturesque 10 acre island on the Vembanad Lake that is one such spot, an hour’s boat ride away from the resort. A local myth recounts that a Brahmin once took a dip in the lake as he offered his evening prayers and with the power of his devotion the sands of the island rose from the waters of the Vembanad Lake.
The island is uninhabited and home to a fascinating array of migratory birds from different parts of the world. One can also get off the boat in the course of a house boat cruise and explore the island or go there in our motor boat and spend a few hours there on a picnic. Besides the possibility of spotting migratory birds such as Siberian storks in winters, Pathiramanal is also home to a wealth of indigenous birds such as common teal, parrots, night and purple herons, cormorants, Indian shag, gulls, large egrets, stork-billed kingfishers, whistling ducks, cotton pygmy geese and monarch flycatchers among others. The best times to explore the island are June, July and August during the monsoon, and the ideal time to spot migratory birds is between November and February. Picnics are best undertaken between January and April and between October and January.
