Why this place stands out

Akkulam Tourist Village is a backwater recreation and family picnic destination on Akkulam Lake in Thiruvananthapuram, with boating, gardens, children’s facilities, an Air Force Museum and adventure activities.

Akkulam Tourist Village lies on the banks of Akkulam Lake in Thiruvananthapuram district, Keralam, around 10 km from the city centre. Developed as a family-friendly backwater and recreation destination, the village extends across landscaped grounds surrounding the lake. Visitors can enjoy boating and waterside walks, while the site also includes a children’s park, swimming facilities, an Air Force Museum and an adventure park with a range of recreational activities.

The lake and its mangrove-fringed surroundings support fish, birds and other wildlife, giving the destination more natural character than a conventional urban park. Akkulam works well for families, casual picnics and travellers who want to experience a small slice of Keralam’s backwater landscape without travelling far from Thiruvananthapuram. It can also be paired with nearby Veli, since Akkulam Lake forms part of the broader water system connected with Veli Lake and the coastal backwaters.
