I'll upload pictures I have taken or those got from other sources as well for all to enjoy. (I'll post irregularly though). Starting with a set of pictures taken during a recent Kerala trip I mostly stayed in Cochin and Kumarakom, so most pics shall be from there. The first one is of view of the sea taken at Cochin(Kochi for the politically correct).

Dedicated Member Group: Members Posts: 6729 Joined: 5-February 08 Member No.: 39973	Like I mentioned Kumarakom has the backwaters. We had gone for a boatride into the backwaters one particular day. There are small motorised boats available at an hourly rate. There are other bigger ones well equipped ones with bedrooms/Satellite TV etc at 12K per day also available! It was a lovely boat ride in this huge lake called Vembanad lake. There are houses and resorts which can be seen while travelling. For more details on Kerala Backwaters refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_Backwaters This particular picture has a mango tree loaded with mangoes. Oh how I love mangoes.
