KERALA
- GOD'S OWN COUNTRY
A narrow enigmatic strip of land
muzzles the Arabian sea all along the southwest coast of India.
BACKWATERS
OF KERALA
Further inland lie seemingly endless miles of
placid Kerala backwaters, flanked on either side by a blanket of emerland
palms. These canals and waterways vary in dimensions from being wide enough
to be dubbed lakes, rich with marine beauty. To be in nothing but snaking
slivers of freshwater , all mainly concentrated around the townships of
Alleppey, Kumarakom, Kottayam, Quilon and Cochin.
Not
surprisingly then, Kerala is fondly called the Venice of East
These
winding waterways are best traversed in a quaint thatched roof houseboats
called kettuvallam or in a sleek darting local snakeboat.
