Exploring the waters of Kerala

Kerala, the picturesque state situated on India's southwestern coast, is often hailed as "God's Own Country" for good reason. With its lush landscapes, serene backwaters, and stunning coastline, it's no wonder that water activities are a central feature of the Kerala experience. Kerala’s water activities offer a diverse range of experiences, from serene and leisurely to thrilling and adventurous. Whether you’re cruising through the backwaters on a houseboat, paddling through tranquil canals, or diving into vibrant underwater worlds, Kerala’s water attractions provide a unique way to explore this beautiful state. If you’re planning a trip to this enchanting destination, here’s a guide to the must-try water activities that will make your visit unforgettable.

 Houseboat Cruises in the Backwaters

One of the most iconic experiences in Kerala is a houseboat cruise through the backwaters. The serene network of canals, lakes, and rivers in regions like Alappuzha (Alleppey) and Kumarakom offers a unique perspective of rural life and natural beauty. Drift past emerald-green paddy fields, coconut groves, and charming villages while indulging in traditional Kerala cuisine prepared by onboard chefs. For a truly immersive experience, consider spending a night on a houseboat.

 Kayaking and Canoeing

For a more active water adventure, kayaking and canoeing are excellent options. The backwaters of Kerala are crisscrossed with narrow canals and waterways that are perfect for paddling. Areas like Alleppey and Kumarakom are popular for these activities. Glide through the waters and get up close with the local flora and fauna. It's a peaceful way to explore the natural surroundings and spot wildlife.

River Rafting

For thrill-seekers, river rafting in Kerala offers an adrenaline-pumping experience. The rivers in the Western Ghats, such as the Periyar River in Thekkady, provide exciting rapids and stunning scenery. While Kerala might not be as famous for river rafting as some other destinations, the experience here is both exhilarating and scenic.

Fishing Expeditions

Fishing is not only a leisurely activity but also a way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Kerala’s backwaters and coastal areas are rich in fish, and joining a fishing expedition can be both relaxing and rewarding. Local guides can help you learn traditional fishing techniques and share insights into the region's fishing culture.
