The clam gatherers

There is plenty happening beneath the surface of Kerala’s waterways. Clam harvesting is one of the livelihoods that takes people into the shallow waters, searching the muddy beds for a catch that can be sold and eaten. On the Life Experience Trails, guests get to see this lesser-known side of life by the water - where the backwaters are not just scenery, but a source of work and food.
