Trip to kuttanad

Hey readers...this is my first post on my trip to kuttanad...the rice bowl of  kerala

About the place..it is the only place below sea level..and one of its kind...it is located in the district of alaphuzha..in the state of kerala...

We started from karunagappally  by bus to the district  of  alaphuzha and to the land of backwaters by boat service.

But before getting onto the boats to kuttanad..we spent an hour or so in the beach of alapuzha...it is pleasant and one of the most beautiful  beaches  in kerala...the shores were crowded with tourists ....it was mid day noon..but we were feeling so relaxed with sea breeze with smell of salinity

It was about 2 in the afternoon....we are still waiting for the boat..then about 2.30 pm we boarded our boats to kuttanad....as we go through backwaters we can see the paddy fields occuped with paddy just about to harvest...and also we can see many backwater resorts and homestay...toddy bars..and an array of house boats..etc..anfter an long journey of about half an hour or so..we got down at an isolated plot called the R-block with just one toddy bar and a restaurant. .we had our lunch by the restaurant and had our fills with toddy..we waited for other boatsto explore much of kuttanad..but the time was limited that we couldnt see all of kuttanad in just one day...we set back to alappuzha by the boat service...and were back home by night 8 o clock..

It wasnt much of a trip..but atleast we enjoyed it.....
