While floating down the waterways your boatman can take you into one of the thatched country toddy shops for a glass of the fermented water which is served along with a delicious array of fresh fish and tapioca - a delicacy not to be missed. Exploring the backwaters is a thrilling experience of drifting under little hump-backed bridges, serenaded by long avenues of palms past temples and churches.
When you decide on a backwater trip chose to ride in a houseboat. They are known as 'Kettuvallam' and are floating houses made of coir. They are very sturdy and safe. A day or two in a houseboat floating down the backwaters pampered by a small crew consisting of a captain, personal chef, and second mate is just what the doctor ordered for a perfect Indian holiday experience.
