Taking a Houseboat Tour on the Kerala Backwaters

My family comes from Kerala although I grew up in Delhi. It’s a shame that I never took a houseboat ride. As for me, visiting Kerala is more about visiting family and of course food! It’s amazing to see you guys enjoy. As I now live in Germany and whenever people ask me what I miss about India, I say the food. As you guys mentioned you overate. I feel the variety and taste of Indian food, you cannot find it anywhere else.

Indian is very different from north to south , east to west. India has 5 seasons, we have desert, snowy mountains, beaches backwaters and hillstation. It's one of most geographically diverse country in the world If you're in India now, in the month of January. You can go to Thar desert in rajasthan, and just 924km from the desert you can visit a city in Himachal Pradesh called "Shimla". It's a hillstation where you can experience snowfall It's insane that after you travel 924km you will literally go from a desert to snowy hillstation city😂 That's how insane India's geography is!!

The place showed, Kuttanadu is one of the 2 places in the world where the cultivable land is few meters below the sea level and the lake water is at a higher level and is separated from the land by broad bunds and by constantly pumping water out, here if you observe carefully, you can see paddy cultivation is below the level of the water in the canal. nowadays water is pumped out. my grandfather is basically from there and in those days wooden blades(chakram) were used to pump water out manually 24 hours/day. 24/7. The other place where cultivable land is below the sea level is Holland.

you may have noticed the spirituality in people of Kerala South India. that is because India is the birthplace of spirituality. South India being protected by ocean from all sides it has not been invaded or ruled as many times as north India by foreigners. that is why culture art craft music dance architecture everything blossomed without being affected too much by outside influence. classical music and dance of South India are legendary and take years to be good at. Carnatic music is the most complex music on this earth. if you visit South Indian state of Tamil Nadu you will see many beautiful architecture made of granite rock thousands of years old been through earthquakes and still standing in one piece.
