Highlights of your backwater journey is a peaceful canoe cruise through the narrow canals of Kuttamangalam, a hidden gem in the heart of Kainakari village. Since these canals are only about 15–20 feet wide, they are inaccessible to large houseboats, making a traditional country canoe the perfect way to explore this untouched landscape. As your canoe gently glides through the calm waterways, you'll pass traditional village homes, lush coconut groves, vibrant paddy fields, and small wooden bridges. Along the way, witness the daily life of Kuttanad's villagers—fishermen casting their nets, women washing clothes on the riverbank, children paddling to school, farmers tending Kerala's famous below-sea-level rice fields. The silence of the narrow canals is broken only by birdsong and the gentle splash of the paddle, creating a truly relaxing and good experience. Unlike the busy tourist routes, this canoe ride offers close-up encounters with the authentic culture and natural beauty.
