Rich heritage of Fort Kochi

 Weekend luncheon at Fort Kochi

Fort Kochi is a prime locale in Kerala with a foreign heritage. Even today the locale is unfolding
 the legacy of the foreign rulers and is the favourite destinations from tourits across the globe. Tourist fondly walk down the lanes of the locale with plenty of monuments such as tomb of Vasco Da Gama, Dutch Palace at Mattancherry and Jew street. The nostalgia evoked by the planned locale, its many street shops, beautiful beach and maritime ambience are all propelling this place to be most interesting and appealing to tourists in all seasons.

 While visiting Fort Kochi, I shopped lucratively from the vendors showcasing both their antique and latest collections and spent all my time watching the huge cargo ships passing close to shores of Fort Kochi.

Amazing ships and I was left ogling at them!!!

Weekend adventures

Cruising the backwaters of Alleppey

Long time after hectic schedules at work and home, I planned an elaborate outing to enjoy thoroughly the much awaited weekend holidays. I started my outing at the backwaters of Alleppey after boarding a houseboat. The boat started gliding along the glistening deep waters of the Punnamada lake laced with lush greenery. The verdant shores of the lake were a contrast to the transparent volume of water carrying the boat and pushing it forward. I shot the beautiful locale and recorded the natural splendor of the glistening deep lake. The warm sun in the morning made the cruise most comfortable with ample heat to feel bright and energetic.

There were plenty of houseboats in the huge lake both empty and also carrying plenty of tourists. Everyone enjoyed their respective cruises and explored the lake and the surrounding landscapes. There were restaurants and resorts located along the shores of the lake. While tourism is becoming the major part of the economy of Kerala, many resorts are functioning near the backwaters to entertain the tourists and provide them exemplary and lasting experiences of Kerala.
