Kerala, popularly known and
believed as God's Own Country, is an ideal destination for business traveler as
well as holidaymaker. The state is blessed with myriad features like dense
tropical forests, beautiful beaches, cliffs, rocky coasts, an intricate maze of
backwaters, still bays and astounding 44 radiant rivers. Spending days in
Kerala is rejuvenating to say the least, especially at the backwater
destinations, connected through meandering inland lakes. You can have such an
unforgettable experience at the Alappuzha Backwaters in Kerala.

fields, Chinese fishing nets and toddy tappers at work.
