The backwaters of Kerala truly is one of the most magnificens placera I ever visited!
The lush greens are just mesmerizing

This place is much much more beautiful than how it looks in this particular picture. The perfectly round star and the mesmerizing water holding that particular boat and life aboard!

9/10 Wonderful! (151 reviews)
Lovely location amongst lush green gardens. Staff were great, especially the restaurant team, who made us feel at home. Loved afternoon tea, watching the sunset at the lakeside. Trips from the hotel are pricey, but we walked to the bridge and jumped on boats to explore the lake and backwaters.
