Falling in Love with the ‘Venice of the East’

Soaking in the beauty of Back Waters:


With the kind hospitality of my friends, it was a golden opportunity to visit one of my most dreamed tourist locations, Back Waters in Azhapuzha. The endless waterways connecting all the villages in the district are the main attraction for the tourists.
Cruising on the river, you can witness the ceaseless beauty of the countryside. Myriad paddy fields, simple but elegant houses lining up the banks of the river, locals ferrying goods in their canoes and children learning to swim and paddle in front of their houses are the vivid images of the place that will ever last in your mind.


The entire lake is dotted with boats ranging from gigantic house boats to small canoes. If you are a lone traveler, it is best for you to travel in the public boat service provided by the Kerala government, which is economical and it gives you the chance to experience the local flavor of the place.
Tasting toddy (Coconut Wine) is another entertaining activity on the trip(only for adults).  With the mouth watering fish fry, the sour liquid gets you high.

It’s amazing to see; people use only boats and canoes to commute from one place to another place, which takes you to medieval era of our history.  The people are warm and polite and always happy to assist you.


One cannot fail to fall in love with this beautiful place and I am sure to come back again.
