A serene scene from Kerala
A serene scene from Kerala
Cruising along on a traditional houseboat in the backwaters of Kerala and you will see local lake life on either side of you. Ducks and kingfishers are flying around you, laundry is a commonly seen chore, kids riding bicycles after school, and fisherman getting their catch of the day are just some examples. But one of the most beautiful moments you will capture is this golden sunset.
