Kollam backwater is one of the popular picnic spots preferred by visitors as it is extremely virgin, clean, and stunningly beautiful. The backwater which forms a part of the Ashtamudi lake, the 2^nd largest and deepest ecosystem in India, is replete with mesmerising beauty all around.  While you enjoy a cruise in houseboat in the backwater, you will be greeted with exquisite views of the nature along the banks of the lake. Sights of long stretch of paddy fields and thickly populated rows of coconut trees will never fade out from your memories.  The cruise will also give you ample opportunity to watch the village life. If you are lucky, there will be enough chances to sight plenty of colourful migratory birds while you ride in the boat.
