Welcome
to South India and experience the untouched delightful South by invasions throughout
its history. South India and the Indian heritage is more intact here than in other
regions of the country. This is a land of temples, a land of the devoutees.
900 km of tranquility: It's an intricate network of innumerable lagoons,
lakes, canals, estuaries and the deltas of forty-four rivers that drain into
the Arabian Sea. Over 900 km of this labyrinthine waterworld is navigable. The
largest backwater stretch in Kerala is the Vembanad lake which flows through
three districts and opens out into the sea at the Kochi port.
The Ashtamudi Lake (literally, having eight arms), which covers a major portion
of Kollam district in the south, is the second largest and is considered the
gateway to the backwaters.
