Backwaters of Kerala, India Sep 1, 2023

The beautiful backwaters of Kerala are made up of a network of interconnected canals, rivers, lakes, and inlets stretching across over 900 kilometres of waterways. Towns and cities were built along the intricate water system, and today they are destinations for cruises. Within the backwaters lies a distinct ecosystem where fresh river water mingles with the saltwater from the Arabian Sea, resulting in a one-of-a-kind habitat for flora and fauna. Kerala is also a famous destination for tourists who are looking for an enriching Ayurvedic escape or seeking to feast on the freshest seafood. The official and most widely spoken language of the state is Malayalam.
