I enjoyed a fabulous one day excursion on the backwaters of Kerala. We were on a larger boat in the morning on the main channels, and then spent the afternoon in smaller canoes travelling through the smaller canals. The backwaters of Kerala consist of 900 kms of waterways that fringe the coast and move inland at various locations from Cochin down to Alleppey. Long before there were roads in India, these were the highways of Kerala, and many villagers still use these waterways as their main form of transport. Along the way we had the opportunity to stop in to a few of the villages to see how the people live. A very interesting day!
