Kerala Backwater Packages
Backwaters are an amazing phenomenon of
Kerala - a necklace of lagoons, lakes, canals and rivers that run through the
length of this beautiful land. Infact much of Kerala's uniqueness lays in its
backwaters - found nowhere else in the world.A visit to the backwater
destinations of Kumarakom, Kollam and Kozhikode can be a most rewarding
experience that one can get. The lagoons at these destinations with their
spectacular view and fringed by coconut trees have been featured in travel books
all over the world. No journey to the backwaters is complete without a stay on
board in "Kettuvallam" or a houseboat which takes you on a journey through the
length and breadth of the lagoons and waterways.
