Kuttanad Stretches for 75 km sandwichedkuttanad011.gif (19459 bytes) between the sea & the hills. The bewildering labyrinth of shimmering waterways composed of lakes, canals, rivers & rivulets, is lined with dense tropical greenery, and preserves rural Kerala life styles that are completely hidden from the road. The views change from narrow canals and dense vegetation to open vistas and dazzling green paddy fields
