The backwaters are an ecology unlike
any other on earth. Rivers rush down from the Cardamom Hills to drain breathlessly
into the plains, forming rivulets, canals and dozens of shallow, broad lakes.
These, in turn, merge with the estuaries of the Malabar Coast. Finally, criss-crossing
this natural system are a network of man-made waterways, centuries old, that
give the region its life and special character.
(When Vasco da Gama arrived in these parts, he found the backwaters much as
you will experience them today).
