WELCOME TAJ GARDEN RETREAT

Azure backwaters, swaying palms, floating houseboats & sanctuaries of peace. These are some of the things that inspired English missionary Henry Baker to acquire 104 acres on the banks of the Vembanad Lake from the Maharaja of Travancore, late in the 19th century. Today it is known the world over as the Taj Garden Retreat, Kumarakom. It still maintains the beauty of its rustic surroundings, tranquil backwaters, pristine stillness & the indescribable beauty, for which it is often referred to as the little jewel of Kumarakom.
