How To Reach Kuttanad Backwaters

Kuttanad, Kerala, India
The Kuttanad Backwaters core area, encompassing regions like Nedumudi and Moncombu, represents the most authentic part of the Kerala backwater ecosystem. Known as the "Rice Bowl of Kerala," this area is globally famous for its unique system of agriculture where farming is done below sea level on re claimed land. This process, known as 'Kayal' cultivation, involves creating massive bunds to keep out the water and pumping it out to create fertile land for rice. The backwaters here are a labyrinth of four major rivers—Pampa, Meenachil, Achankovil, and Manimala—which flow into the Vembanad Lake. Exploring the core area allows visitors to see the vast expanse of the 'Q', 'S', and 'T' block paddy fields, which are massive land tracts reclaimed from the lake. The area is a biodiversity hotspot, home to various species of fish and migratory birds. For travelers, it offers a peaceful, slow-paced environment where the only sounds are the ripples of water and the distant quacking of ducks being shepherded across the canals. :
