At an elevation of six meters, Vaikom names both a town and a taluk in the Kottayam District in the south of Kerala, India. At 1.78 kilometers, it is but a short distance from the state capital, Thiruvananthapura. Several taluks surround Viakom, including Thycattussery, Pattanakkad and Cherthala to the west, and Kaduthuruthy to the east. Other towns, Cherthala, Kanjikkuzhi, and Aroor are closer still to Vaikom. Altogether, Vaikom taluk consists of 51 villages and 7 panchayats bordering two other districts important to the tourist trade, Kottayam and Alappuzha.Richard Hargis (talk) 21:55, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
