Smritakal

Of course seeing is beveling. These snaps will really help you to walk through the back waters. I here express
Sincere thanks to Vimal Angamali and Malayalam Fun 


House boats land in the river bank for the breakfast and to feel the sublime beauty 





The above picture depicts the typical way of catching the fish..I do remeber how my father uses the fish net
I was always interested to accompnay him during my school days...Now everything is mere smrti (memory)












The name Kerala derived front the coconut tree which is keram .  Thus the land of cocunut tree is known as

Kerala, the God's own Own Country


The small boat which is often seen in backwater can travel one or two..The concrete thing that is seen is helpful to beard into the motor boats of the state government


This is the engine boats which is traveling through out the backwater . About 50 people can travel. Although
Its is cheaper to the general public not to the government


This is known as Kadathu, which helps the passers by to cross the river. The passenger will be charged one rupees. Now I remember when me shijan and joshy crossed the river we paid the money. Shijan commented that there will be a time when these money will be paid through credit cards... .  ha... ha.how futuristic is he ?


This is a lovely place just like an island but not surrounded by water but green bed. I do have house like this

The lovely thing is that after two o' clock onwards lovely breeze will ventilate all our tension..I recommend the readers to travel Alappuzha Changanacherry road once in Kerala

Ente Kuttanadu





Kuttanad

The study site lies in the Greater Kuttanad region, a low-lying zone of marshy and peaty lands, intersected by a myriad of waterways and has a complex network of rivers and rivulets, lakes, islands and sea inlets called the kayal or backwaters.  The central part of the backwaters in the State is dominated by a sizeable stretch of open water body called the Vembanad lake. The main part of Kuttanad region falls within Alleppey district, of which Alleppey town is the centre. A large portion of this area had been reclaimed in the past by constructing embankments along the submerged shoals within the lagoon body.
