The backwaters form a unique feature of the Kerala
landscape. Over 1900 kms of meandering rivers and backwaters have become a
way of life for the people living along its banks. The religious amity,
vivid cultural festivals, the pulsating rhythm of the boat song, the
paddling oarsman-cum- salesman with his wares precariously piled up on
narrow boats, children skipping along the water's edge on their way home
from school; the backwaters showcase a vibrant tapestry of innumerable
sights and sounds.

in abundance on the backwaters and all kinds of crabs, mussels and shellfish
make up an integral part of backwater cuisine. Kerala is also famous for its
elaborate vegetarian feast served in elegant splendour on banana leaves.
Known as the ' Sadhya', here's a meal fit for the Gods! Toddy – the
champagne of the backwaters, is the fresh milky extract tapped from the
coconut tree. When left to ferment, toddy becomes an intoxicant. A heady
experience, indeed! Come, cruise the backwaters with River Escapes and
sample a culture and cuisine as vibrant and varied as the people on the
backwaters.
