About River
and Country Tour
The
Byzantine maze of backwater give Kerala it's Colour,
vitality and beauty. "River and Country Tours"
organizes inland cruises on Houseboats (the traditional
Kettuvallam) on the Alleppey -Kuttanad, Alleppey-Quilon
belt of the backwaters. A breathtakingly stimulating
experience. For Kuttanad is one of the worlds rarest
place where the backwater snakes itself well below
the sea level. And Alleppey is known for its narrow
canals snake boat races, including the colourful
annual pageant-Nehru Trophy in August.
To lend comfort to this
romantic cruise, every Kettuvallam has a drawing
cum dining room, a bath attached bedroom and a kitchen
.of course there is also plenty of open space for
you to leisurely gaze at the wonderland of Alleppey
and Kuttanad. The water-web slowly opens up it's
secrets to you ,lush paddy fields, pregnant palms,
singing Sibeerian ducks and the ancestral music
of the fisherman.
As
the sun sets, drop anchor at any place that catches
your fancy and let the lullaby of the distant waves
of Arabian Sea echoed from the inscrutable Western
Ghats put you to sleep. Keeping in consonance with
the ambiance, 'River and country Tours' will provide
authentic Kerala Cuisine. Tasty, fresh and wholesome
food that ranges from the lightly spiced to traditional
curries. The Coastal town of Alleppey is located
on the National Highway between Thiruvananthapuram
and Kochi and can be reached easily by rail or road.
The Cruise takes you along lakes frilled by endless
expanse of coconut groves. Time and Space lose their
relevance as the cool breeze caresses you and the
gentle waves rock your boat. Watch the Chinese fishing
nets come alive, watch the setting sun paint the
sky in breath taking colours. At night fall, drop
anchor at any place that catch your fancy and the
lullaby of the gentle waves put you to sleep. Wake
in the morning to the shouts of the fisherman.
