Backwaters Trip (Kerala)

Kerala is a labyrinth of lazily meandering backwaters. Sprinkled with traditional houseboats, country crafts, rural lifestyles and tranquility, its an intricate network of innumerable lagoons, lakes, canals, estuaries and the deltas of forty-four rivers that drain into the Arabian Sea. Kerala lives along these backwaters. They snake over the state, bestowing paddy fields with good harvests, and provide the whole village with drinking water. There are tourist cruises available from Allepey to Kollom running daily and you can choose to go one way only or return to where you started. A more extravagant option is to hire a houseboat, but it is definitely worth the cost.
