Overview Paravur Backwaters is one of the lesser known, tightly kept secret locations in southern Kerala. The Paravur Backwaters is safe and a sheltered waterbody, without much influence of the tidal effects. You can be assured of the safety as the depth of the lake in general is not more than 10 feet and not wider than 1 km. This ensures you don't paddle out and lose orientation in unknown waters. There are no motorboats in the waterbody to cause wake or noise pollution. Paravur Backwaters is part of the West Coast Canal System and connects it to the NW3 National Waterway between Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram. You will find it truly unique place to paddle as it is also the meeting point of sea water from Arabian Sea and freshwater from Ithikkara River. The paddling center is located on a tiny sandbar that sits between Arabian Sea and Paravur Backwaters with direct access to both waterbodies.

Immerse yourself in contrasting nature and distant cultural traditions with a stay in Thiruvananthapuram, South India. The capital of the Kerala region, located in the southwestern part of the Indian peninsula, Thiruvananthapuram is a densely populated city with a beautiful environment. The city was built on seven lush green hills with dense vegetation, which earned it the title of "the green city of India" by Mahatma Gandhi. If its name seems quite unlikely to Westerners, it actually means "the city of Lord Anantha" in homage to Anantha, the sacred thousand-headed snake symbolising, among other things, fertility, on which the God of preservation Vishnu rests. With its equatorial climate, the city experiences warm temperatures throughout the year. Watch out for the monsoon season from June to November. The best time to visit Thiruvananthapuram is in winter or spring. Thiruvananthapuram is a bustling city with many business offices and educational, scientific and technological institutions. Take a look at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the Technopark or the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST). It is also very much oriented towards religion and tolerance. Thus, churches, mosques and Hindu temples rub shoulders without a hitch. From a cultural point of view, you can discover many things by visiting the Napier Museum, where you will find all sorts of Indian objects such as procession chariots, ivory sculptures, traditional costumes... For painting enthusiasts, head for the Sri Chitra art gallery, which houses an eclectic collection of paintings from various origins.
