BEAUTIFUL
KERALA,
INDIA!
Kerala, a state situated on the tropical Malabar Coast of southwestern India,
is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Named as one
of the ten paradises of the world by National Geographic Traveler, Kerala is
famous especially for its ecotourism initiatives and beautiful backwaters.
The Kerala backwaters are made up of 900km of interconnected waterways, rivers, lakes and inlets. This network is fed by 38 rivers and is made up of 5 large lakes that are connected by various canals which are both natural as well as manmade. This chain of lagoons lying parallel with the Arabian sea is also called the Malabar coast and extends across almost half of Kerala's coastline. The Kerala backwater offers visitors a quiet, tranquil getaway with the cozy houseboats for tourists to stay in and enjoy the beauty of the backwaters and the small towns near the backwaters. |
