Kerala - God's Own Country ! - Part 1

I'd been to Kerala last weekend for Sajith's wedding. It was quite an experience! It was my first time into Kerala for non-trek purposes. So in a way this was the first time ( excluding that trip as a kid!) I saw for myself what this enchanting land had in it for me !

The scenic beauty of the backwaters is simply awesome. Waterways are like how highways are in the rest of the country. We went on a boat from Kottayam to R-Block. And in this distance we saw the beauty of what we'd heard of all the time. There were these bridges which were folded up whenever a boat passed by. There were lovely people on the banks washing clothes/ bathing. There were kids trying to swim in the shallow waters. There were acres and hectares of paddy fields. The lush greenary of the paddy fields is always a treat to the eyes !

The next part will contain other aspects of my observations of what I saw in Kerala!
