Veeranpuzha is a lake in Cochin, Kerala, India. It is the northern extension of Vembanad Lake. From "Kochi Azhi" to "Munambam Azhi", the serene backwaters popularly known in this name – Veeranpuzha. (It is also known by the name Veerampuzha) Veeranpuzha is the name of Vembanad Lake at Vyppen Island. In early 80’s there were regular ferry services from Munambam to Ernakulam. Though it stretches from Ernakulam to Munambam, Veeranpuzha’s Nayarmbalam part is the most scintillating landscape. You can never forget the sight in your lifetime.

However, even today, very few tourists visit Veeranpuzha. People are still not aware of the beauty of the place. Very recently some resorts have come up on the banks of the lake.

The most attractive factor about this part of the lake is that it is an isolated area allowing good privacy. The area has large paddy fields devoid of human habitation. Non-availability of fresh water is a reason for lack of dense human settlements.

Most of the people are fishermen and agrarians. The people are receptive. They are cultured and educated too.
