Some places aren\u2019t meant to be rushed. They\u2019re meant to be drifted through<\/em>, just like Kerala\u2019s Kuttanad, where the backwaters look like melted mirrors and coconut palms lean over the water like lazy dancers. Starting this November, travelers can explore it in a whole new way, with the brand-new Kuttanad Safari, an eco-tourism boat service that\u2019s as soothing as it sounds. Kerala Water Transport launches the new Soura 1, a solar-powered vessel that will open your eyes to a world of magical adventures.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab those cheap flights to Kerala<\/a>, for it\u2019s just you, the water, and a world that feels like it hasn\u2019t changed in decades on this adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kuttanad Safari isn\u2019t just another cruise. It\u2019s a love letter to the land known as Kerala\u2019s \u201cRice Bowl.\u201d The project, launched by the Kerala Water Transport Department, aims to turn local waterways into a slow-travel experience that\u2019s sustainable, scenic, and surprisingly soulful.

The cruise begins at the Nehru Trophy Fishing Point, flowing slowly through a movie-like view to the Azhikkal Canal. You\u2019ll be served the most delicious local breakfast here, including Puttu and Kadala Curry, and the mouth-watering Karimeen Pollichathu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, you\u2019ll be entertained by the cultural dances of Shinkari Melam, Panchavadyam, Kuthiyottam, and Velakali, whose movements are as mesmerizing as the sway of trees. With all-inclusive Kerala tour packages<\/a>, you can make handmade souvenirs, like coir products, woven mats, and woven palm fronds. You can also purchase such items on the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gliding along the gentle waters, scattered with Chundan Vallam boats and the breathtaking Kuttanad landscape, is tempting. But what will tempt you most is the Kuttanadan feast, paired with the best toddy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cruise comes to an end as the sun sets at Pathiranamal Island, where you\u2019ll be welcomed at the amphitheatre to enjoy an elaborate entertainment performance put on by the Indian People\u2019s Theatre Association. The amphitheatre will be a marvellous creation of natural materials like bamboo, giving a nod to green tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
