Sometimes i feel that maybe its only birds who enjoy the very being of their existence. waking up to an early sunrise and getting back home along with the light. Such was a morning here at kollam beach , #bruisedpassports #sunrise
Riverboats are an affordable way to see the Arabian sea and enjoy a calming night on the water.
A great way to see the Kerala backwaters without booking an expensive boat trip - take the ferry from Kollam to Allapphuza. It takes about 7 hours and you'll see the impressive landscape, fishermen doing their work and I also was lucky to spot a kingfisher! #backwaters #Kerala
