The relaxing green environs are only a prelude to the experience of the famous Backwater tours, where you sail in fully furnished boats serving superb culinary. Backwaters are a network of lakes, canals (which connect the villages together), estuaries and deltas of forty-four rivers that drain into the Arabian Sea. They constitute a self supporting Eco-system of aquatic life. It’s possible to sail over 900 km of this water maze.

Tour packages begin their journey from cities such as Kochi and Calicut. There’s plenty to see here as well. A passage through Kochi (Cochin) will show you the VOC Gate, Bastion Bungalow, the Chinese fishing nets along the Vasco da Gama Square, St. Francis Church, VOC Gate, etc. The Chinese fishing nets balanced on teak wood and bamboo poles. They were supposedly first set up here between AD 1350 and 1450.

One of the favourite destinations of the Backwater tour is Kumarakom, with its bird sanctuary and the serene Vembanand Lake, on which you can take a backwater cruise on a thatched houseboat(the "Vambanadu Kettuvallam"),. Alappuzha is another delight, with its boat races, houseboats, coir products, and lakes. Kuttanad is a land of lush paddy fields and is called the 'Rice Bowl' of Kerala, where farming is done below sea level. Kuttanad is a stretch of 75 Km between the sea and the hills.
In the hill-station of Munnar one can visit the Raja Malai - a hill where you can see Neel Thar (mountain goats). Other fascinating places are Muttupetty dam (with boat trips on the lake) an Indo Swiss project, and tea gardens spread like a green carpet over hundreds of kilometres.

Munnar , previously the summer resort of the British Government in South India meets three mountain streams - Mudrapuzha, Nallathani & Kundala. It’s got tea plantations, quaint winding lanes, and exciting holiday facilities. Neelakurinji is a famous flower in this region, which blooms every 12 years. Anamudi, the highest peak in South India at 2695 m is a must-see.
The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary in Thekkady was created when the surrounding valleys were flooded by a new dam. You’ll be able to explore it by boat. Take a ride also on one of the working elephants here, and sight many other species such as boar, deer, tiger, etc. You can proceed from here to the renowned Idukki dam.

From various spice markets and farms such as Kumily, Abraham's Spice Garden (in Kottayam), etc, you can pick up some of the ingredients of the heavenly food of the state- such as cardamom, nutmeg, pepper, and the like. Betel leaves, coffee, pineapple are also grown around Kerala, which you will surely see during the backwater cruises in all these villages.

When you return to the starting points of your tour, you can be shown performances of Kathakali, a classical dance originating in the state of Kerala, as a grand finale. So what are you waiting for? The next holiday season is just around the bend!

Thrilling adventurous trek tours to Ladakh

Posted by Sara Hasan on February 24, 2011 at 23:32

Ladakh is one of the places where nobody can refuse to go atleast once in lifetime for its sheer purity and tranquility. Bounded by the highest mountain ranges of the world-the Great Himalayas and the Karakoram ranges, it also lies parallel to the Zanskar and Ladakh ranges, it is the best place to undertake adventurous sports and activities. Therefore the Ladakh Trekking tours enable one to enjoy the breathtaking adventurous activities and scenic beauty of the peaceful place. It is also known as the Land of High Passes and The Land of Nomad as it’s an important passage for people to move between valleys and mountains providing an enthralling experience to fill the senses with natural joys and wonder. It consists of mountainous terrains of altitudes measuring 2750 m of Kargil and 7672 m of Saser Kangri denoting the best heights for fun filled trekking experiences. Being at the heart of gigantic Himalayan ranges, Ladakh has bone chilling temperatures in the winters and summers are quite pleasant at 27 degree Celsius. For adventurous souls, Ladakh offers a plethora of trek routes like Spituk to Markha valley, Lekir to Tamisgam, Nubra valley trek, Rupshu valley trek etc. Ladakh trek tours are also not an easy cake to walk as the harsh weather conditions and rocky terrains test the patience, physical strength and courage of the trekker. Most of it is covered with solid ice which is an altogether experience to trek on the glaciers and snow clad peaks.Basically ladakh is divided into three regions-around Kargil, Indus valley and Zanskar.Kargil is in the center and the area behind Zoji La pass is the one meant for trekking. It is surrounded by apricot groves and can be reached from Sanko to Drass via Umba at 4930m. Indus valley is situated at a whopping 3500m altitude and is sandwiched between Zanskar range on its south and Ladakh range in the north. This is the geographical backbone and the historical heartland of Ladakh. Here reside the majority of population and the structures like monasteries, villages, shops etc. Zanskar is the remotest area of this region which is cut by a 300 km valley surrounded by mountains and accessible only by passes. The climate is extremely harsh over there and the terrain is mostly rugged. Apart from life threatening yet the thrilling experiences of trekking in this region, the Buddhism culture and way of living is another remarkable feature of this region which sets the spirits high as it lends a very tranquil and touching environment to live. It is partly due to Tibetan influence and the troupes of gompas inhabiting here such as Shey, Alchi, Hemis etc. In a nature abundant place, how can wildlife be ignored?Hemis national park is situated in the eastern part of Ladakh which supports poor vegetation but a rich fauna. Species of snow leopard, ibex, Tibetan antelope, Tibetan hare etc can be spotted along the trekking route. Birds such as snow partridge, snow cock, golden eagle, horned lark etc are also found.The favorable time to go for trekking is June to September with well sorted out back pack .The traveler must ensure that he/she carries the right amount and necessary equipments before going on trek such as sunglasses, flash light, first aid etc.Sara has deep interest in writing informative articles on Travel and Tourism in India.
