with a network of 44 rivers, lagoons and lakes from north to south. Alleppey
which forms the main part of this network has the peculiar geographical
feature of having the water in level with the land. This gives the advantage of
getting a closer look at the village life on shore while on a backwater ride. A
glide in a "Kettuvallam" (Houseboat) through the enchanting backwaters of
Alleppey is sure to rob your heart. Palm fringed narrow canals winding
through the vast expanse of paddy fields and the neat tiny hamlets lined up
along either sides of the canals are panoramic sights one can never forget.
The Chinese fishing nets, the reminiscent of our past trade links, are also
found on the way. Flocks of ducks swimming around the banks and tiny birds
flying across the sky remains as enduring pictures reflecting the charm of this
unique land. The sparkling water and the caressing cool wind is a temptation
too strong to resist. Country boats of various types crisscross the path with
passengers from all walks of Kerala's rural life ranging from milkman and
newspaper boy to local politicians, priests and wedding parties. It is a unique

Relax at the golden beach during the day. Overnight at the resort.
