How To Reach Kanjippadam Backwaters
Kuttanad, Kerala, India
Kanjippadam Backwaters represent the quieter, more pristine side of the famous Kuttanad water network. Located slightly away from the primary houseboat routes of Alappuzha, this area offers an intimate look at the traditional life of the backwaters without the overwhelming crowd of tourists. The la ndscape here is a mesmerizing tapestry of narrow canals, vast lakes, and lush green paddy fields that lie below sea level. The primary attraction of Kanjippadam is its sheer tranquility; the only sounds you are likely to hear are the ripples of water against the hulls of country boats and the occasional call of a water bird. The village of Kanjippadam itself is a typical agrarian community where the local economy revolves around rice cultivation and fishing. Visitors can witness the "Toddy" tapping process, where sap is collected from coconut palms, a practice that is central to the local culture and economy. The backwaters here are dotted with small islets where traditional houses stand surrounded by water, reachable only by boat. This creates a unique lifestyle where every household has its own small canoe for daily transport. The water in Kanjippadam is relatively cleaner and less congested than the main canal systems, making it a preferred spot for those looking for a relaxing shikhara boat ride or a peaceful sunset. The area is also known for its local fish variety, particularly the Pearl Spot (Karimeen), which thrives in these brackish waters. For a traveler, Kanjippadam offers a "slow travel" experience, encouraging one to sit back and observe the changing colors of the sky reflected in the vast expanse of water. It is a place that reminds one of the old Kerala, before the advent of mass tourism, where the beauty lies in the simplicity of the everyday.
