Tourist Guide

When in Kerela, a day in the backwaters of Alleppey is a must do. One can rent a house boat and can purchase fish (go for Karimeem) on the go, buy Tody and experience the way "Gods Own Country" is supposed to be experienced..!! #lifeatexpedia

The backwaters in Kerala are lovely. Spending a relaxing night on a houseboat was definitely a really cool thing to do.
Interesting snapshots of the life in the backwaters during a morning kayaking session. #waterlust #colorful
