Backwaters
Kumarakom Backwaters
This is situated just around 12km from Kottayam, this unique backwater
destination situated on the banks of the Vembanad lake is considered the
gateway to the backwaters of Kuttanad.
This is also a favorite haunt of migratory birds from across the world
which makes it a unique experience for all bird lovers across the world
who make a visit to this place for this very special experience.
More beautiful than the canals in Thailand or for that matter any place
in India also, the backwaters of Kerala offer an enchanting experience
of fun and relaxation and a chance to see authentic local life. The experience
in reading about these backwaters is itself a experience in its own stand
and the visit is unimaginable.
Alappuzha with its lovely lakes, lagoons and the fresh water rivers will
not fail to sweep you off your feet. The stunningly gorgeous 'Venice of
the East' has more than the boat races, houseboats, beaches, marine products
and the coir industry.
This place also is the home for many species that thong on these water bodies
and breed here giving it a lovely experience that is mind blowing.
