Cheepumkal, located near Kavanattinkara, is where the Public Water Transport Jetty and the House Boat Terminal of Kottayam are located. Motor boat trips from here to the nearby places of Maniaparambu, Mannanam and Parippu are a memorable experience. Vast stretches of paddy fields, coconut farms, plantain farms and the village life of the local people can be seen here.
