If a Keralite ever told you that Backwaters at Kerala were the best, tell him to have a look at the Karli Backwaters. The influence of Karli river where it meets the Arabian sea near the Karli creek provides one the most picturesque scenes in the area. A boat ride up the river starting from the creek is full of beautiful and surprising moments.
The ride against the river nearing its journey is amazingly swift. The waters however, hide the turmoil within and it’s only when some troubled dolphin jumps to the surface and zigzags back that one gets the true picture of the abyss. The rivers banks are covered with verdant forests and one shouldn’t be faulted for comparing it to the ride across the Amazon.
