Pathiramanal Island is like some treasure trove for birdwatchers. Surrounded by the stunning backwaters, it is home to thousands of migrating birds from all over the world. For those who are not into ardent birdwatching, the gorgeous settings of this lush green island is an added lure. A photographer’s delight, the island is a must visit if you have hopped on to a houseboat for a tour of Alleppey backwaters and Vembanad Lake.
