Kerala, Houseboat Interiors

The alley in the Houseboat which connects to the rooms on the right, and further down a compact neat
and clean kitchen where the chef cooked us some sumptious treats. Hats off to the crew of Boat No. 4;-)

Periyar

This is the closest we could get to the King of Periyar Forest- Tiger. Rajkumar our local trek guide from the forest dept. mentioned that this was not a recent pugmark as he pointed out signs of ebbing. But even as you see the pugmark, from that moment on there is an eerie feeling about the King. Maybe he/she was watching our every move and yet not give us a remote chance of a sighting.

Jungle Trek at Periyar Tiger Reserve

Another magnificient view during the jungle trek.

Periyar Tiger Reserve

A view of the Periyar Lake with the Tiger Reserve on either sides. One must go for a forest treak, preferebaly the night trek. It is a wonderful experience to enjoy nature at its best. The sightings will purely depend on good luck. For more info on Periyar search for Thekkady/Periyar Tiger Reserve.

Yet another Sunset

A photograph taken from a country canoe in Kumarakom. The best time for a sunset retreat at the lake shore would be around 4.30-4.45 pm. (DEC)

The mystical Backwaters

Yet another inspirational sight in the wee hours of the morning.

Kerala Houseboat Experience

The magical backwaters of Kerala are truly inspiring. This photograph was taken from the Houseboat at about 5.15 AM. A must do for all visiting this awesome place.
