A backwater flotilla


It is a cruise that reminds one of the Spanish armada. The picture of the month has for you a sight captured during a rush hour on the backwaters of Kerala.

With sails set high, the country boats are on their way to destinations carrying a variety of goods. Two oarsmen usually man these boats and guide it by using long bamboo poles. These country boats, beside the space for cargo would have facilities for sleeping and cooking, during the course of the journey, which in some cases might take several days.
