Kayamkulam Kayal, also known as Kayamkulam Lake or Kayamkulam Estuary, is a backwater body between Panmana and Karthikapally in Kerala that drains into the Arabian Sea, forming an estuarine ecosystem. It is a quiet spot for visitors and also hosts a boating festival that draws crowds each year.
Its serene waters and surrounding lush greenery make it an ideal destination for houseboat cruises, birdwatching, and exploring the traditional coastal lifestyle of Kerala.
