Talking of a Kettuvallam ride, The National
Geographic Traveler says, "It is
astonishingly romantic to watch the sunset
from one kettuvallam among several, while
the three boatmen hang lanterns and a
pearly glow fades behind the scrim of
palms... Waking at dawn, we find ourselves
surrounded by hundreds of fishermen's
skiffs on immense Vembanad Lake. It’s
like time travel into a quiet morning
of another century."
A cruise along the palm-fringed
waterways of Kerala in a luxury houseboat
is the most enchanting holiday experience
in India today. In this world of simple
pleasures, you will skim past water lilies,
lush paddy fields, coir villages, rustic
homes, temples and coconut groves. A guided
tour down the backwaters would provide
you with a complete and most enchanting
experience on the backwaters of Kerala
and will also reveal to you some interesting
facts about the life of local village
people. There is a Kerala that lives along
these backwaters throbbing with its own
unique culture .For you, as a visitor
to Kerala it can be incredibly different
experience just floating this backwaters
in a country craft and absorbing unusual
representation. |
