BACKWATERS – ALLEPPEY & KUMARAKOM

The ‘Backwaters’ – a unique web of lakes, lagoons, canals and rivers are an integral part of Kerala. One can enjoy a backwater cruise, lazing in a small country boat as it meanders through the tranquil network of water canals, dotted with busy hamlets, lush green paddy fields. Formed by the 40 odd rivers that flow down to the Arabian Sea from the Cardamom Hills, this network of canals, lakes and estuaries comprises one of Indian’s most enchanting areas; rural living lifestyle, riverine expanse of verdant coconut groves and rice paddies.
