There’s nothing more relaxing in a city than the sight of serene backwaters flowing through its heart. There are many cities around the world that boast of waterbodies that in many ways define the socio-cultural and routine lives of people. Ernakulam takes it to another level with the stunning Cochin backwaters. For many, the first image of Ernakulam is that of the tranquil backwaters and boats that gently move through it.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the backwaters of Kochi are tied closely with the routine lives of various residents, especially at the islands that surround the mainland of Ernakulam. Serene, calm and absolutely poetic, these backwaters make for an ideal vacation. Whether you are in a water-front hotel with stunning views, a houseboat that sails peacefully through the backwaters or an evening boating experience that allows you to have a breathtaking view of the sunset, the Cochin backwaters serve you with the most splendid sights and experiences.
You can also enjoy the enthralling experience of speeding through the backwaters on speed boats. The views of the city from the backwaters, the greenery that surrounds it, and the resplendent sight of Chinese fishing nets spread all over the area – Cochin backwaters is a treat like you have never tasted before.
