This historic little town of Kerala is famous for a lot of things besides the enthralling backwaters. The name Kottayam is derived from Kotta and Akam and means the inside of a fort. The place is also referred to as the 'land of Lakes, Latex and Letters', and has a very plausible explanation for this title. Kottayam was the first region in Kerala to attain 100% literacy, also the region is famous all over for its ample rubber plantations and the mesmerizing Vembanad Lake that all together contribute to its title.
