Abc Wednesday, Abc Wednesday Round 6, gods own country, houseboat, kerala, kumarakom, munnar, pics, picture, travel
K is for Kumarakom in God’s Own Country aka Kerala
A place for lovely morning overlooking the backwaters
and the fishermen in the boats
of lonely birds in the middle of water
of the most awesome water views
the huts and Toddy(Palm Wine) shops in the middle of nowhere
of religious processions and conserving culture
Last but not the least the most awesome houseboats
so rustic and traditional from the outside
yet you will be amazed at the plushness and the comforts available inside, TV, fridge, AC, yummy food, chilled beer… name it they have it π
Kerala truly indeed is God’s Own Country, whether its the backwaters or the tea heaven munnar… where warmth is in abundance and nature’s at its best and massages are done in birth suits π

PS: All pictures clicked by me or N during our trip there in 2008

Kumarakom is really a place with stunning beauty. Though it’s known more for backwaters but it’s also a prominent place for bird watching. Expensive but good.
