Thanneermukkom Bund – The Engineering Marvel

Thanneermukkom Bund, built across Vembanad Lake, is one of the largest saltwater barriers in India. It plays a crucial role in controlling water flow between the lake and the sea, protecting nearby farmlands from flooding. Beyond its engineering importance, it’s a scenic destination with mesmerizing sunset views and a haven for birdwatchers. Visitors can enjoy peaceful walks along the bund, watching boats glide by and locals engaged in fishing. The mix of technology and natural beauty makes it a unique attraction in Kumarakom, reflecting Kerala’s harmony between man and nature.
