October 15th was indeed a
special day for me. After reaching Kottayam
jetty, we boarded into a big launch. The whole boat hired for our group
only. As boat sailed, I took the upper deck for better view. Immediately we
served with vegetable fried rice and chilly chicken and for me it was egg because
since 20 years I stopped eating all sorts of meat. The sight was unbelievable, nature at its best.

Backwaters
Backwaters of Kerala are made
up of over 900 km of interconnected
waterways, rivers, lakes and inlets. The backwaters of Kerala are marked by a
unique ecosystem wherein lagoons, lakes,
canals, estuaries and deltas of several rivers meet the Arabian Sea.
While hill resorts and beaches
can be found in several parts of India, the backwaters
are found only in Kerala. The Kerala backwater tours offer a perfect blend
of scenic attractions and tranquility. One can travel on a traditional houseboat and enjoy the beauty of Kerala backwaters
which make their way through a number of towns and cities.

backwater cruises begin or end in Cochin.

The Kerala backwaters around Kollam, which extend from the
Ashthamudi Lake, are mesmerizing. The boat rides on the sun-kissed water scores
brownie points with most of the tourists visiting the Kollam backwaters. The
splendid town of Kollam is renowned for being the gateway to the beautiful
backwaters of Kerala. The backwater tour from Kollam to Alappuzha is the longest backwater tour in Kerala.
