Alleppey Kumarakom | 2nd January 2007 | | Houseboat Cruise in Kerala Backwaters.... | Overview of the destination
The Backwaters of Kerala is unique 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 Kerala are a self supporting eco-system teeming with life. The canals connect the villages together and are still used for local transport. Over 900 km of this labyrinthine water world is navigable.Kumarakom and Alleppey (new name Alappuzha) are the prominant Backwater tourist attractions in Kerala.Food, sight-seeing and shopping
Kuttanadu is the one rare places in the world where farming is done below sea level (1.5 -2 meters below sea level). Inland waterways that flow above the land level is an amazing feature of this land. Kuttanad lies in heart of the backwaters of Kerala. This beautiful countryside with its waterways also is rich in crops like rice, banana, Cassava and yam. Activities & things to do
The most exciting aspect of Kuttanadu is the Kettuvallam (traditional Houseboat) which has become the most popular tourism product in India today. In a land as water bound 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 Kerala. Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Kumarakom is 13 KMs from Kottayam Railway Staion. And its 85 KMs from Cochin Airport. Details can be seen in www.ecotourskerala.com | |

 Allepey-ayurveda cum backwaters trip | | Hi,
I am visiting Kerala in November for a wedding but want to take 3 days off with my folks to essentially relax and unwind with Ayurveda treatment and backwater cruise. I was looking at 2 nights in Allepey and one night in houseboat to Kumarakom, or vice versa i.e. 2 nights in Kumarakom and one night in houseboat to Allepey.
Would appreciate any suggestions on itinerary, deluxe A/C accommodation in Allepey/Kumarakom and most importantly, recommendations on good Ayurveda spa packages in that area. I will be travelling with my one year old baby. Main considerations are: comfort, excellent spa package & good local food | | | Yatri Niwas (KTDC) | | Can anyone please tell me about their experience about 1) Yatri Niwas (KTDC) 2) Hotel Royal Park? | | | Please help me with my Kerala trip | | Friends,
