Kerala Backwaters
The
backwaters of Kerala are what have given it the sobriquet "God's Own Country".
As you meander through these on a houseboat you drift into a timeless land replete
with picture-postcard towns and ancient trading posts. The huge coconut trees
provide an apt backdrop and perhaps you can even eavesdrop on the strains of
an oarsman's song.
