In my previous posts,we talked about the travelling to Alalppuzha via the Alappuzha -Changancherry Route (see here:
www.kuttanaddiaries.blogspot.in/2014/02/picture-postcards-from-alappuzha.html). But, what I didn't mention is that bus rides during the evenings through the Alappuzha -Changanasherry Road, more popular as the AC Road, are a breath taking experience.
As the sun prepares to plunge into the water logged paddy fields, one wonders if that is why the rice from the region is slightly golden yellow in color. As farmers retire from a busy day on the fields to the comforts of their little traditionally tiled houses far off the coconut trees that surround the fields sway to the little cold yet pleasant wind blowing in from the sea.
As the
http://www.keralatourism.org/ site will tell you the Alappuzha Tourism Department have many laid-back villas in these serene locations that provide comfortable accommodations at affordable rates to the tourist. Or if you prefer the way of the locals, long-drive in, have a cool dip in the canal, and lay back to enjoy the view on your car hood. Monsoons can be spectacular but a bit uncomfortable for those not particularly into rain-dances, as you can see here
www.kuttanaddiaries.blogspot.in . So as night falls, if you are lucky to be in on a clear day, you can witness the widest and most remarkable night sky that a human eye can see.
For now, enjoy these photographs from God's own holiday spot. :)
