Poovar is a small Island located very near to capital of Kerala
Thiruvananthapuram. Thiruvananthapuram also known as Trivandrum, was the
erstwhile capital of Travancore and is the State Capital today. Fringing the
coast of Kerala and winding far inland is an intricate network of
innumerable Lagoons, Lakes, Canals, Estuaries and the Deltas of forty-four
rivers that drain into the Arabian Sea.
Over 900 kms of this labyrinthine
water world is navigable. As characteristic of Kerala as the 600km long
coastline of dazzling beaches is the dense, lush Backwaters of the state.
And while hill stations are all over the country and palm-fringed beaches
too, the Backwaters are unique to Kerala
The tranquility is punctuated only by the sound of the waves and the
whistling of the birds. The acreage is abundant in well-preserved local
flora, with hundreds of varieties of species, exotic flowers and dense
banana and coconut groves. The sun of god smiles generously on Poovar.
There's a lot to do in idyllic Poovar besides soaking in nature. Laze on
hammocks, sunbathe on the beach, swim in the translucent waters of the
swimming pool, row to a neighboring fishing village, try your luck on a
fishing expedition or take in a spectacular backwaters sunset cruise.
