Kerala tourism<\/b> welcomes its tourists with a breathtaking view of exotic nature, serene water, birds, and human habitation coexisting peacefully. Alappuzha, Kumarakom, Kollam, Kozhikode<\/b> and Trivandrum<\/b> are among the most popular backwater sites in the state. For those who are planning to visit Alleppey<\/b>, a cruise through the splendid backwaters in the city will be appealing. Kochi<\/b> is yet another popular backwater destination in Kerala.
