Akkulam and Anayara offer access to lakefront recreation, newer commercial development and the northern airport corridor. The zone suits families and travellers preferring modern accommodation outside the traditional centre. It is geographically spread out, and visits to East Fort, Kowdiar or Kovalam require road transport rather than a compact walking itinerary.
