Kuttanad Backwaters
Kuttanad lies sandwiched between the sea and the hills. The 75 kilometers long sparkling network of rivers, canals, lakes, lagoons and tiny streamlets between Kollam and Cochin and beyond to Thiruvananthapuram, of which the Kuttanad (Backwaters) comprises of, are akin to a tropical land of canals.
Kuttanad, called the rice bowl of Kerala because of her wealth of paddy crops is at the heart of the backwaters. The scenic countryside of Kuttanad with its shimmering waterways also has a rich crop of bananas, yams and casava which accompany the rice bowl as "side dishes".
This is one of the places in the world where farming is done below sea level. Inland waterways which flow above land level is an amazing feature of this unique land.
