SPICES, GAME AND TRANQUILLITY - THEKKADY AND KUMARAKOM

THE BACKWATERS. THE RICEBARGE
The famed 'backwaters' are a comprehensive network of lakes and lagoons, surrounded by tropical vegetation and small settlements; these ancient waterways were once the original transport arteries of the region. Your own fully staffed Ricebarge will gently cruise the canals and waterways; undisturbed you will see village life and exceptional natural beauty. Your night on board will be an experience to remember.
