Cruising Lake Vembanad in a private boat in the state of Kerala, in southern India. A very tourist-friendly state, lush and green on the foothills of the Western Ghats. Known for its beautiful beaches on the Arabian Sea coast, tea, coffee and spice plantations, temples, and most of all, the backwaters that empty into the Arabian Sea. Wildlife abounds so do coconut trees and fresh coconut and coconut oil is used extensively in cooking. A 'must see' if you visit India!
