Kerala Backwater Tour India

* Alappuzha Backwaters, popularly known as the Venice of the East, attracts numerous tourists for its boat-trips. The network of lagoons and rivers bordered by the sea, form the lifeline of transport in this region. Thus while traveling on country boats and pleasuring yourself, you will notice coir workers soaking coconut fiber in pools or winding the strands between the coconut trees.

* You must have heard about Kochi, the finest natural harbor in the world- "Queen of the Arabian Sea". A cluster of islands on Vembanad Lake, the largest backwater locale in Kerala, Kochi Backwaters are always vibrant with a medley of exotic cultures. You can explore this blend only by rides on houseboats. Lush greenery, Chinese fishing nets decking the entrance to the harbor or even the waterfront—the cruises can give you a spectacular view of all these sites.

The serene backwaters of Kerala are simple irresistible, but do take notice of the superb coconut grooves by the sides and the beautifully decorated boats that will take you into a journey without any jerk. This tour package includes the best sought after places that need no extra introduction in Indian tourist map. These houseboats are good, if not better than those of Kashmir are. The cruise is immensely recommended for the peace lovers and the people who have liked the TITANIC, or is that too much to ask for? To know, visit Kerala Backwaters.

History Of Kerala: Original inhabitants were animists, followed by the Dravidians. After Alexander's triumphant sweep over Asia Minor, the ports of Kerala became a link between the Middle East, the Mediterranean and China.

In 1498, Vasco da Gama made his historic landing on the Malabar Coast. In 1723, the East India Company signed a strategic treaty with King Marthanda Varma. For a few decades, Hyder Ali and his son -Tipu sultan proved to be a thorn in the flesh of the British, sweeping down several times into Kerala. In 1947, it was the turn of the British to pack their bags.
