Kumbalangi is a well known spot in the tourism map of India serving large number of domestic as well as international tourists every year. Kumbalangi, a small island by nature, has been selected as the first Model Tourism Village all over in India. Although it is an island and surrounded by back waters, Kumbalangi is well connected with the main land Kochi and the neighboring district Alappuzha by road and water.

Kumbalangi offers high potential for house boat cruise, adventurous water sports, traditional boat race, fishing, swimming and other cultural programs. There are many indigenous methods of fishing prevailing in the area. Pupping is the most popular among them. (In this method, a small area of water is separated with small wooden poles and then this area is filled with decayed twigs and coconut fibers making a hiding place for large number of various specious of fish. After a short span of time, say, one week, a fishing net is laid around poles and the entrapped fishes are collected using cane basket or another small fishing net).
