Kerala is host to a variety of landscapes that rival each other in beauty – the backwaters of Aleppey, the tea plantations on the hills of Munnar, the beaches at Kovalam, the placid rivers that flow across the state, the forests of the Western Ghats, and much more.

This time the backwaters are in focus, as part of the latest campaign on God’s Own Country. Here are some mesmerising pictures. Click on the pictures for a zoomed view. It’s worth it!

P.S.: Many thanks to Kerala Tourism for sharing these images with me.
