Kuttanad Backwater Tours

Kuttanad Backwater ToursKuttanad is an expanse of water logged land lying below sea level. Kuttanad lies as a sandwiched between the sea and the hills. It likes Holland in terms of geographical features.

Kuttanad is called as a rice bowl of Kerala because of her wealth of paddy crops. The view changes from narrow canals and dense vegetation to open vistas and dazzling green paddy fields.

Homes, farms, churches, mosques and temples can be seen among the trees. And if you are lucky you might catch the blue flash of a kingfisher or the green of a parakeet. Endless tranquility is yours for the taking here.

The Kuttanad region is a green landscape covered with waterways that run alongside fields of cassava, banana and yam, as well as emerald green fields of paddy. A unique feature of Kuttanad is that many of these fields are below sea level.

Three rivers, namely Pampa, Manimala and Achankovil, criss cross the length and breadth of Kuttanad. Enjoy the serene beauty of this unique water world with the local children smiling and waving to you while you sail past them.
