About the kerala Backwaters
|
| The backwaters act as a vital
waterway for the transportation of goods. The backwaters
in Kerala are a world of serenity and wonderment. For
People live in some parts backwaters are the only link
between isolated villages and crowded towns. The coastal
regions of Kerala have a network of waterways, inlets from
the sea, and estuaries of over forty rivers, lakes and
natural canals connecting coastal towns. This interlinked
body of waterways is known as the backwaters in Kerala. In
Kerala, the total expanse of backwater stretches over 1500
kms.. |

Alappuzha which forms the main part of this network has
the peculiar geographical feature of having the water in
level with the land. This gives the advantage of getting a
closer look at the village life on shore in Kerala while
on a backwater ride. Many unique species of aquatic life
including crabs, frogs and mudskippers, water birds such
as terns, kingfishers, darters and cormorants, and animals
such as otters and turtles live in and alongside the
backwaters in Kerala. Palm trees, pandanus shrubs, various
leafy plants and bushes grow alongside the Kerala
backwaters, providing a green hue to the surrounding
landscape.. |
