The Backwaters of Kerela
is a unique product of Kerala and is found nowhere else in the world.
Backwaters are a network of lakes, canals and estuaries and deltas of
forty-four rivers that drain into the Arabian sea. The backwaters of
Kerela are a self supporting eco-system teeming with aquatic life. The
canals connect the villages together and are still used for local
transport. Over 900 km of this labyrinthine water world is navigable.
Calicut (Kozhikode), the age-old commercial town now attracts tourists
with its wonderful backwaters and picnic sports. With a bewitching beauty,
Calicut plays a major role in the travel and tourism
sphere.
Unexplored and unspoiled are the backwaters of Kozhikode, which holds great promises of enchanting holiday options. Elathur, the canal and the River Kallai are favourite haunts for boating. Kadlundi, with its beautiful bird sanctuary is a charming site. Korapuzha, the venue of the Korapuzha Jalotsavam is fast becoming a popular water sport destination Up north in Kerala, the cool backwaters of Calicut lay waiting to be discovered. Unspoilt, uncommon and unknown enthusiastic experience is waiting here for you.
The most exciting thing on the backwaters of Kerela, however, is the kettuvallom ( traditional houseboat ) which has become the most popular tourism product in India today. In a land as waterbound as Kerala it wouldn't be an unusual sight, but for a visitor to God's Own Country a houseboat gliding along the vast green expanse of the backwaters is the most amazing spectacle in the world. Even more enchanting is a holiday in the houseboats of Kerela.
