Kerala Backwaters Tour

Kerala Backwater Tours
As I walk through the picturesque meadows the refreshing tropical winds unwinds me providing me an glittering view of the sunrise by the pristine Kerala backwaters and it is then that I believe that truly Kerala is ‘God’s Own Country’.The backwaters in Kerala are a world of tranquillity and therefore are one of the most popular destinations for those travelling Kerala. The coastal regions of Kerala are blessed with a network of waterways, inlets from the ocean and lakes, canals and estuaries of over forty rivers which are well connected with the coastal towns. These backwaters of Kerala are one of the important sources of livelihood for the local people. These backwaters are navigable and for centuries have been used by the people for transportation. Even today a Kerala houseboat ride is considered a must for those travelling the serene and beauteous vistas of Kerala.


The backwaters in Kerala are also a source of amazement and ecstasy for those lovers of aquatic life. The freshwater from the rivers meets the water from the sea which together creates a unique ecosystem. In such ecosystem various rare and unique species of aquatic life can be seen which includes species of crabs, frogs, water birds, kingfishers, turtles and more. Apart from the under water beauty these Kerala backwaters are also blessed with natural bounty and a ride on the houseboat over these serene waters provide a tranquilizing view of the Palm trees, Pandanus shrubs and other bushes grown alongside with these backwaters. The amazing flora and fauna at the entire landscape provides a stimulating experience to those on a Kerala tour.


The main source of living for those staying on the banks of Kerala backwaters is through fishing. The traditional way of life at these backwaters of Kerala are farming, coconut and other crops harvested along the banks of the backwaters, the boats which are build as important mode of transportation and now are also source of living. The traditional settings of living at the banks of backwaters are one of the most awe- inspiring sites on your Kerala travel.


The network of these backwaters includes fiver large lakes linked by canals, which are both natural and manmade and covers up to half the length of Kerala. Ayurveda is an ancient form of healing and is practiced for several centuries in India. This age old art of healing the ailment is widely practiced at the backwaters of Kerala and treats the body, mind and soul of the weary traveller in completely natural way providing a complete rejuvenation. The rejuvenating treatments of Ayurveda and the calming environs of Kerala backwaters when clubbed together provide a heavenly experience to its visitors. Therefore the Kerala backwater tour is one of the must in every traveller visiting the Southern part of India.
