Description

The sound of leaves rustle in your ears, wind blowing through the coconut palm and banana trees, sounds of bells coming from the temple make up your mornings in backwaters of Kerala. Backwaters of Kerala offers unhurried and laid back travel experience along the lush paddy field strewn and coconut grove shaded Malabar Coast. Amidst the backwaters of Kerala, you come across a number of towns, and villages that serves as the starting and concluding point of many cruises and backwater tours.

Kerala Backwaters is a maze of water bodies stretching over 900 kilometers and forms an intrinsic part of Kerala tourism. Traditionally, backwaters were used to ferry rice and spices from one place to another in houseboats then known as Kettuvallams. Now these houseboats are the best tourist attraction as it is used to ferry tourists and visitors from one destination to another.

Some of the best backwaters destinations are are Alappuza, Kollam, Kasargod, Kozikode(Calicut), Kumarakom, Kuttanad and Thiruvananthpuram. Surrounded by Kallada River, Asthamudi Lake, Sasthamkoda Lake, Munroe Island in Kollam. Amongst all these destinations, Alappuza serves as the gateway to the backwaters of Kerala. A ride from Kollam to Alapuzza is the longest ride and is one of the best aspects of Kerala blackwater tourism. The ride not only gives a peek into the soul-quenching greenery that Kerala is blessed with but also a glimpse of the village life and rural economy of the state.
