MY EXPERIENCE IN VALIYAPARMBA BACKWATERS....

It was the beggining of Cristmas vaccation.I was totally free from my studies for
10 days..So me and my friend Mr.brodsky decided to dedicate a one day for
exploring the beauty of enchanting Valiyaparmba island.A day was fixed.
Valiyaparamba,is located about 20 km from Kanhangad, is a serene backwater
destination in Kasargod district of Kerala ..It is fed by four rivers and dotted
with numerous little islands
At the day of our journey I get into the bus going
to Payannur at 11`o`clock in the morning.My friend accompanied me from Nileshwar.
Bus moved trough NH17.We came across beautiful Nileshwarm and Tejaswini rivers..
Coconut palms and lust green paddy fields appeared on the either
sides of the road through out our journey.After about 30 minutes
we reached Trikaripur where Valiyaparamba is located.We get out
of the bus and walked trough the streets of trikaripur town.
Our destination is to enjoy the backwaters of Valiyaparamba and to
see Idayilakadyu.Idayilakadu is a small island in the Valiyaparamba lake.
Many peoples where staying in this small island.Road is built across the
lake which connects it to the main land .Main attraction of this river island is the
sacred groove called“Idayilakadu sarpa kavu”.We moved trough the road
passing through the lake.Cool wind was blowing and i was ..fascinated by the beauty
of the lake.But main disturbance was the hot glowing sun.I found large number
of jelly fishes floating in the water.It is a poisonus type of jelly fish and even a
small touch will cause itching ..I stepped down into the lake and took a snap of it.
Sacred groove of Idayilakadu is inhabited by large number
of common langurs.poisonus snakes like Cobra ,Vipers are also found in this
grooves.We kept our boots out side and entered into the groove.i found there differ
ent varities of butterflies.birds such as hoopoe,drongo,crow phesants,pond herons,
egrets,were very commonAt the middle of the groove there was a statue of snake god.
We offered some flowers and returned back.It was very entertaining to watch the
playing of monkeys.They cause many disturbances to the local peoples that stays here.
After again walking for about 20 minutes we reached Idayilakadu
boat jetty.An old man with his boat was waiting for travellers.We occupied the
seat on the boat.Boat slowly moved through the back waters.. lake was covered
by coccunut palms which give a spectacular beauty to the lake.Beautiful Ezhimala
mountains where seeing far away from us.House boats
were rushing trough the lake with foreign tourists.I got a great chance
for boating. Boating in these back waters was the wonderful and the most
fantastic experience I had that day

We sat under the shades of coconut palms and had chat with that old man and
enjoyed the beauty of the lake.There was a small tea shop nearby.
We ordered for a tea.Tea was supper and had a fragnance of cardamom.After getting
stimulation from a cup of cardamom tea we then moved to the Valiyaparmba beach
and waited for sunset.shores where lined by the coconut palms.After seeing the
beautiful golden sunset we then wind up our journey…that was the end of
another beautiful day.

Valiyaparamba is perhaps the most scenic backwater
stretch in Kerala.but Although Valiyaparamba is a tourist trail, there is a
dearth of locals. Except for the people accompanying the visitor, there is nobody
around.I found only some foreigners there that day.God has given hand full of
natural beauty to Kerala.but god has given luck only for foreigners to enjoy
the natural beauty of Kerala.

My journey continues…..in search of new unknown beautiful places…
