Kerala lie seemingly endless miles of placid Kerala backwaters, flanked on either side by a blanket of emerald palms. These canals or waterways, vary in dimension from being wide enough to be dubbed lakes, rich with marine bounty. To being nothing but snaking slivers of freshwater. And are mainly concentrated around the townships of Alleppey, Kumarakom, Kottayam, Quilon and Cochin.
