KUTTANAD BACKWATERS-THE RICEBOWL OF KERALA
| Kuttanad is a favorite Kerala backwater destination by many of the tourists. Kuttanad is also known as the "Rice Bowl of Kerala" and is characterized by its green landscape. It is crisscrossed with waterways that run alongside fields of cassava, banana and yam, as well as emerald green fields of paddy. A unique feature of Kuttanad is that many of these fields are below sea level. The fields are surrounded by earthen bunds and crops are grown on the low-lying ground. This is similar to the polder regions of the Netherlands where land is reclaimed from the sea and crops are grown. You can see the amazing below-sea level fields of Kuttanad during the cruise. Kuttanad is a backwater paradise and an ideal destination for a backwater cruise in Kerala. Its innumerable streams, channels, waterways and lakes make it possible to drift along in a houseboat and enjoy the scenic view of the Kerala countryside. Morningmist Cruises welcomes you to experience the lushness of the green paddy field while going throught he midst of the fascinating backwaters. |  |
