KERALA BACKWATER HOLIDAYS TOUR
Kerala
Backwater Holidays Tour
Welcome
to Gods own Country! A narrow enigmatic strip of land muzzles
the Arabian sea all along the southwest coast of India. 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.
These winding waterways are best traversed in a quaint
thatched roof houseboats called kettuvallam or in a sleek darting local
snakeboat.
THERE IS MORE TO KERALA Down on the
plains expansive tea coffee plantation dot the landscapes amidst vast open
grasslands that are homed to wild tuskers, bisons, boar, deer and the great
Indian tiger. Its wonderfully temperate climate rarely records below a
pleasantly cool 18 degree centigrade in the winter and the over 32 degree
centigrade mark in the summers and then of course there is that famous
tropical monsoon.
