Kuttanadu backwater tours with the travel website Kerala Tours opens up a world of lush green pastures and fields crisscrossed with inland lakes, waterways and streams that form the Kuttanad backwaters in Kerala, South India. The Kuttanadu region in Kerala, South India is known as the "Rice bowl of Kerala." The special feature of the luxuriantly and abundantly blue-green Kuttanad backwaters is the fact that most of the paddy fields in this part of Kerala lie below the sea level. The sweeping Network of canals honey-combing the town of Alappuzha has earned the sobriquet, "THE VENICE OF THE EAST". Do not miss out on a ride into Kuttanad through shimmering, green paddy fields and tail-waging, head-bobbing groups of ducks. The Coir workers too present an interesting sight. Alleppey becomes the cynosure of all eyes in August-September, every year when the water regatta unfolds itself.
