Peaceful, lovely, and low-key sanctuary
Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary的点评
点评：Lots of people have written mediocre reviews of this sanctuary. I am a birder and decided to check it out, and I'm glad I did--but I had binoculars and patience, and without those two things, most people wouldn't have seen much. Not only did I spot some great birds, but I really enjoyed the canoe ride. Note that the birds I saw are common for Indian birders - but as an American, they were novelties. I went during low season (December), when the birds are quiet. Here are some details:
When you enter the bird sanctuary, the person at the entrance will give you directions to start the walk. [Note that the entrance fee is now 250 rupees]. You should start looking for birds immediately. Toward the beginning of the trail, I saw a beautiful male Indian paradise flycatcher. Later on, I spotted an orange headed (white throated) thrush hopping along the trail. The pavement is uneven so be sure to wear good walking shoes.
After about a kilometer (or slightly longer), you will see a small clearing next to the small canal on your right. (This comes just after a sign that warns you against dangerous waters). There should be one man there, standing next to an old, large wooden canoe. I ended up paying 350 rupees for a tour, after he initially asked for 500. The Indian couple that tagged along paid 500 rupees for 2 people. After piling in, the canoe owner pushed us along with a long pole until we entered the main tributary for Lake Vembanad. At 7:30 in the morning, it was quiet and lovely. We saw stork-billed and white-throated kingfishers, Blue-tailed bee eaters, a reed warbler, cormorants and whiskered terns. Great opportunities for photos, as we were able to get very close to the birds in such a quiet, non-motorized watercraft.
All in all, I thought this was an enjoyable, non-commercialized introduction to the area's nature.

翻译：许多人对这个保护区的评价都很平庸。我是一名观鸟者，决定去看看，我很高兴我这么做了——但我有双筒望远镜和耐心，如果没有这两样东西，大多数人都看不到多少。我不仅发现了一些很棒的鸟，而且我真的很享受独木舟之旅。请注意，我看到的鸟对印度观鸟者来说很常见——但作为一个美国人，它们是新奇的。我是在淡季（十二月）去的，那时鸟儿很安静。以下是一些细节：
当你进入鸟类保护区时，入口处的人会告诉你如何开始步行。[请注意，入场费现在是 250 卢比]。你应该立即开始寻找鸟类。在小径的起点，我看到了一只美丽的雄性印度天堂捕蝇鸟。后来，我发现一只橙头（白喉）画眉沿着小径跳跃。路面不平，所以一定要穿好走的鞋。
大约一公里（或稍远一点）后，您将在右侧的小运河旁看到一小片空地。（这片空地就在警告您不要靠近危险水域的标志后面）。那里应该有一个人，站在一艘古老的大木船旁边。我最终支付了 350 卢比的游览费，而他最初要价 500 卢比。跟在后面的印度夫妇为 2 人支付了 500 卢比。我们挤上去后，独木舟主人用一根长杆推着我们，直到我们进入 Vembanad 湖的主要支流。早上 7:30，这里安静而美丽。我们看到了鹳嘴翠鸟和白喉翠鸟、蓝尾蜂虎、芦苇莺、鸬鹚和须燕鸥。这是一个拍照的好机会，因为我们能够在如此安静的非机动水上非常接近鸟类。
总而言之，我认为这是一次令人愉快的、非商业化的对该地区自然风光的介绍。
