Kappad
offers a complex network of
lakes, lagoons, canals and fresh
water rivers alongside. Traveling
on the backwaters provide an
unforgettable experience to
the tourists, having them to
watch the enchanting waterways
outlined on the banks with lush
green rice fields sprawling
over into the distance and coconut
groves revealing an occasional
temple or church.
A houseboat ride down the backwaters
offers visitors a close look
at the simple pastoral village
life, relaxing their mind watching
fishermen launching their cockleshell
boats, women catching fishes
with their feet, cattle grazing
aimlessly and small shallow
ponds embellished with blooming
white lotuses. The area also
boasts of a natural fresh water
lake called Pookot Lake, which
is beautifully engulfed by trees
on all sides. |
