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


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

Hey, This special is very special to me as we went there on a trip from our youth club after our marriage was fixed. But I will tell you I didn see much of it. WE were busy with ourselves. (jus Talking and flirting ok !!!! )
Even today our friends tease us for this. Thanks for the Nice memories !!!
Btw, Did you spot any birds there ?
been to munnar. need to visit kumarakom.
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.
