Lofty Western Ghats on the east, Vembanad lake and paddy fields of Kuttanad on the west, Kottayam is a land of unique characteristics. A panoramic stretch of green backwaters, lush paddy fields, extensive rubber plantation and highlands all make your Kottayam backwater tour an experience in itself.
Sail past vast stretches of rubber plantations, where you can see tappers in action. Explore the fascinating blue waters while cruising along the backwaters of Kottayam. Get into a Kettuvallam (houseboat) and relish the special tropical dishes and the tropical toddy, which is a specialty of Kottayam.
Watch the hillocks sending its shadows on to the blue waters and watch the sunrays dancing on the vastness of Kottayam backwaters.
The Chandragiri Cruise is one that you should not miss while on your Kottayam backwater trip. Wade through the canals and rivers to the nearby islands and palm groves where you can see nature in its true colours.
