Kerala Backwater Tours

India has a host of travel destinations but one of the most coveted places that attract one and all is the place situated in the south west tip of India, Kerala. The natural scenery, lush greenery, vast landscapes of palm and coconut grooves, green paddy fields and such other exotic locales can only be experienced in Kerala. But how can we forget Kerala’s most magical and enchanting destination which is its backwaters. The Kerala backwaters is an never ending journey of water traversing through several Kerala districts with sights that leave an indelible mark on your mind.

The formation of Kerala backwaters have taken place over the years as it is a complex network of several salty lagoons, numerous lakes such as Ashtamudi and Vembanad, many fresh water rivers, small inlets, natural and manmade canals, deltas and estuaries that finally join the Arabian sea at the Kochi port. It’s an unimaginable stretch of water coupled with thick green foliage on both the sides of the water and picturesque landscapes. Almost 900 kms of the water stretch have become navigable and the best way to enjoy this beauty is by traveling on a house boat, better known as Kettuvalloms in Kerala. Kettuvalloms are well-fitted with all the lifestyle amenities required for a perfect stay which makes the water journey even more memorable.



The Kerala backwaters mainly flow through four important districts, Kollam, Alappuzha, Kottayam and Kochi and you can avail a houseboat in these destinations. Apart from this, there are other worldwide famous backwater destinations such as Kumarakom, Trivandrum, Alleppey, Kovalam, Kasargod, and Kuttanad from where you can start your journey. Especially the journey through Alleppey where you will find St. Andrew's Church and temples such as Punnamada, Ambalapuzha, Krishnapuram and Mullackal will leave you spell bound. You can also enjoy the beauty of rubber plantations at Kottayam, unusual bird life on shores of Kumarakom and an eight-hour magical journey from Kollam to Alappuzha that showcases the best of panorama in your Kerala backwater Tours.
