Located on the western shores of Southern India, Kerala is a land of mesmerizing beauty. It is a potpourri of rich natural, cultural and ethical beauty and hence is rightly known as 'God's Own Country'. A heavenly place, Kerala is embroidered with immaculate sand stretches and sea water at its periphery which makes Kerala tour a must for all beach lovers. Kerala Backwater tours are one of the several highlights of Kerala tour packages as they showcase the natural exuberance that this state stands for.
The rich natural beauty of Kerala is heightened even more with the presence of infinite water bodies donning this state. You will find all across Kerala, backwaters formed by the merging of fresh water from rivers and salted water from sea. These backwaters of Kerala are a string of brackish lakes, rivers and lagoons (includes both manmade as well as natural water bodies) created by wave currents resulting in the formation of low barrier islands across Kerala.
These backwaters are the perfect destination for you to holiday if you are on a honeymoon tour to Kerala. You can take your beloved for a sail in the traditional houseboat of Kerala, known as 'Kettuvalloms'. These boats were originally created by binding up large logs of trees together, but today, they are converted into lavish cruises filled with all modern comforts. When you traverse through the Kerala backwater tour on these houseboats, you can hear the melodious rippling sounds of water and coconut tree covered banks of the backwaters. A houseboat ride will also give you the opportunity to get personal with the locals of Kerala and relish the local cuisine of the state.
Ask your tour organizer to include some of the famed backwater destinations in Kerala like the Kumarakom backwaters, Kochi backwaters and Kollam backwaters before booking your honeymoon package to Kerala. Your tour package must also include Alleppey, another must visit destination in Kerala. In case you are in Kerala with your children don’t forget to show them the exciting annual Snake Boat Race.
