The famous Backwaters in Kerala, South India are water bodies formed by the backward flow of seawater due to an obstruction in the natural current.
Kerala backwaters are blessed with immense beauty and provides for a relaxing atmosphere. The ecosystem of the backwaters combines that of freshwater as well as that of the sea. It supports a large variety of flora and fauna such as frogs, fishes, crabs, mudskippers, otters etc. Along the length of the backwaters, one could see a close up of life in rural Kerala.
'Kettuvalloms' or houseboats are naturally made boats used for transportation through the lengths of the backwaters. They are entirely made of environment friendly materials and do not have any nails to keep it together. It is the coir ropes that do that job. Nowadays houseboats are made in a more lavish and luxurious style and has become an icon of beauty. They are built with all the arrangements necessary for a comfortable accommodation -bedrooms, toilets, kitchen, living area etc. The backwater cruises in houseboats is a favourite activity in Kerala and is a major attraction for tourists from around the world.

We took our cross bikes up the volcanic-rock-strewn singletrack of upper Bidwell park. Maybe some of the rockiest and toughest trails I've ever ridden, especially on a no-suspension bike. But man, the views are killer! I bet Jeff wouldn't join me on this insanity again.
