Trivandrum Backwater Tours
Trivandrum the capital of Kerala means 'the place of the sacred serpent'. Its splendid past is to be seen in its old buildings, most of them built in wood in the Kerala Style, with tiled roofs and carved gables, in its botanical garden and Zoo, in its wide roads and public buildings and in its lively intellectual life. Some of Kerala's leading film makers, poets and writers live here.
The extensive backwaters of Trivandrum, Kerala presents a beautiful kaleidoscope of the dynamic scenery. The traditional houseboats called "Kettuvalloms" are available for a tour on the scenic backwaters of Trivandrum. The meandering waterways lined with lush green vegetation with the blue sky as the backdrop is no less than paradise on earth.
Sail on the calm waters of the 200 square kilometer stretch of crystal clear lakes and lagoons. The only sounds that you will hear while sailing are the chirruping of birds and the gushing water as the houseboat sails on the placid waters. The two main backwater areas of Trivandrum are Veli and Thiruvallam.
Both these areas are the best places to go on houseboat rides on Trivandrum backwaters. The Thiruvallam backwater has a temple dedicated to the founder of Kerala, Parashuram. One can also enjoy some water sports that are provided at these backwaters for tourists.
