Paddling the Backwaters of Kerala, South India

Paddling kayaking the Backwaters of Kerala, South India by Frits Meyst and Jillian Macdonald Adventure4ever.com Outdoor, Travel & Diving Photo Features. Photography and text for magazines, travel sections and other printed and online media. The sun is rising. We must get the kayaks in the water, There are many kilometres to cover and much to explore!" Our guide Unni, feels most at home on the water. What better way to carry your night dreams into daydreams along the silky soft backwaters of Kerala. We are the tourists gliding by in our brightly coloured kayaks and though everyone is intrigued by our presence, daily life continues. The morning bath, washing dishes, chasing chickens and hanging the laundry all happen at the water's edge. With waves and welcoming smiles we paddle through what the locals call, 'God's Own Country'.

The sun is rising. We must get the kayaks in the water, There are many kilometres to cover and much to explore!" Our guide Unni, feels most at home on the water. He is an inspiration and despite weariness and the desire to laze about in the Indian sunshine, his eagerness and enormous Keralan smile infects us all. What better way to carry your night dreams into daydreams along the silky soft backwaters of Kerala. We are the tourists gliding by in our brightly coloured kayaks and though everyone is intrigued by our presence, daily life continues. The morning bath, washing dishes, chasing chickens and hanging the laundry all happen at the water's edge. With waves and welcoming smiles we paddle through what the locals call, 'God's Own Country'.
