Water Lily of Kuttanadu

Kuttanadu in Central Kerala 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. Kuttanadu 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. A cruise along the palm-fringed waterways of Kerala in a luxury houseboat is the most enchanting holiday experience in India today. In a world gifted with beauty, you will skim past ancient Chinese fishing nets, water lilies, lush paddy fields, coir villages, rustic homes, temples and coconut groves.

The blooming of water lilies in the morning sun right in front of ones eyes is something to experience. The loudly quacking ducks would be arriving soon… loudness could either be attributed to their new found freedom of the vast lake or the sight of the visitors who wait patiently for the lilies to open.
