Encyclopedia > Backwaters

In "Indian English" (English usage as per those speaking it in India), a backwater is a body of saltwater (connected to the sea) which has a lake-like absence of surf and tides. There are many backwaters in Kerala, although most of these are fresh water.

At Kumarakom, you could sail the backwaters in rented houseboats, which are poled by local oarsmen and are simply furnished with a living room, a bedroom and bath, together with a raised central platform creating a private sit-out for the passengers.
Lights begin to appear in the thatched and tiled houses of the backwaters, a dog barks, a cow moos asking to be milked, the sun sinks in a blaze of golden glory.
Generally, a short session of backwaters serenity is enough to cure most of the ailments of urban "civilisation," but if you have deeper disabilities of the mind, the heart, and the body you can walk further on Kerala's rejuvenating path.
