I don't know how many of the readers of this blog would have heard of this place's name.For starters its a naturally formed island in the Kuttanad taluk of Alleppey district.Another fact reg: the place is that famous agricultural scientist M.S.Swaminathan ( Mancompu Sambasivan Swaminathan ) is from here. The place marked as 'A' is Moncompu.
For those people who have been living in the concrete jungles of the metros and not so metro areas, this will be a refreshing change.The calm,serene waters of Vembanad lake are ideal for the house-boat journeys.
Its really heartening to see how nature presents itself with such beauties that leaves its observers enchanted :)
This is the pic of the Moncompu temple.Whats peculiar about the visit to the temple is that one needs to take a boat ride for crossing the river. River is not the one seen in pic :P.
