Kuttanad
 
     
 
  Kuttanad, Alappuzha  
 

Endless stretches of backwaters and palm-fringed emerald islets are the unique features of this low-lying vista in central Kerala. Vast stretches of green paddy fields criss crossed by canals and dotted by occasional islands of coconut groves, Kuttanad is the granary of Kerala where most of its rice is grown. Many parts of Kuttanad are some 4 to 10 feet below sea level. Four major rivers of Kerala, the Pamba, Achankovil, Meenachil and Manimala rivers, flow into Kuttanad. Discover the beauty of Kuttanad on a houseboat ride through the enchanting backwaters and canals of Kuttanad.

Getting there:
Nearest railway station: Alappuzha.
Nearest airport: Cochin International Airport, about 85 km from Alappuzha.
