Kerala : A special delight Kerala offers is the trip on a slow boat through its forests and its palm shaded back-waters and canals,
Today, with 25 million people, Kerala is not only one of the most densely populated of all Indian states, but also the most advanced in 
terms of family planning and literacy.

Kerala India
About 2 miles (3 km) north of Quilon is the historic town of Thangasseri where you can picnic among the relics of its European past or frolic on the beach in the shadow of the old lighthouse, one of the earliest built in British times. The old Portuguese, Dutch and English cemeteries have many a tale to tell; the remains of the Portuguese and Dutch fortifications are memorials to a glorious past; and the old British Residency is now a lovely guest house on the shores of the Ashtamudi Lake
Vembanad Lake kerala
North of Quilon, 53 miles (85 km) away, is AHeppey, the "Venice of the East", situated on the Vembanad Lake, the longest lake in India. A maze of canals and a network of bridges give this busy commercial town its descriptive sobriquet. Alleppey is known for its coir, the retied fiber of the coconut husk, and for black pepper. Coir yarn, coir mats and matting, and a wealth of other coir products are manufactured in Alleppey and are good buys.
festival of Kerala
August September is the season of Onam, the famed harvest festival of Kerala. This is the best time to visit the backwaters of the state. The colorful water carnivals, the gaily clad women and their graceful dances, the ornate and bright hued floor decorations (kolam and rangoli) using coloured powder or, more beautifully, flowers, and the festive spirit everywhere, make all of Kerala a lively place at this time of the year. But what sets apart the backwaters country and makes its festivities even more joyous are the Vallam Kallis, the boat races.
Kerala
The Nehru Trophy Boat Race Day, held at Alleppey on the second Saturday of August every year, sees the most colourful event in Kerala. There are races for a variety of boats, but the biggest race of the day is the one for the chundan vallams, the giant snake boats. Each boat is over 100 feet (30.5 metres) long, with raised snake-like prows, and is gaily decorated. With crews of more than 100 men rowing in perfect rhythm to traditional boat songs, the race has become part of an unforgettable drama for the thousands who line the banks to cheer themselves hoarse. There is nothing like it anywhere else in India -except at other boat race centres in the backwaters country of Kerala. It is no wonder then that the Sports Authority of India has set up its Kayaking and Canoeing Centre here to train young oarsmen to international standards
