Pichavaram is a place near Chidambaram in the southern part of India, which is famous for its back waters, surrounded by rich mangrove forest. These mangroves have international recognition as they are the healthiest mangroves available in the world. Thus they serve as the best place for eco-tourism. Unlike normal cruising, this place will allow you to get a feel of being inside a dense forest, with its trees and plants rooted into the waters. It also offers rich bio diversity as it has plethora of fish and bird varieties. Recently, its value got elevated by the introduction of a new festival known as ‘Vidiyal vizha’, which is also called ‘Dawn fest’. This festival enables us to get to know about the tribal and other people, present in the place, and their cultural interests. During this festival, the travelers are guaranteed to have a cultural and an artistic treat from these people’s exhibition of their talents in art, including music, dance and yoga. The fascinating part of it is that this performance will take place afloat. For travelers, this will contribute additional fun to their canoeing. This festival renders them the amusement of having specially made sea food for dinner. Thus these plenteous delights are awaiting the tourists who seek ‘entertainment’ in life, as well as ‘education’ about various cultures!!!

The sceneries of Kerala serve as a visual treat to nature lovers. The exquisite back waters and the glorious sun set and sun rise cannot escape one’s notice. If you are one such passionate person who loves traveling and yet feel apprehensive to have a visit to this place just because you hate traveling by old, dull and irksome boats; here is a solution for your hesitation. ‘Houseboats’ have become a famous source of tourist attraction. These are boats with special furnishing that almost give a similar appearance to luxurious buildings. The boat is equipped with a couple of rooms including a living room and a bed room. The kitchen is fully supplied with necessary provisions and also professional cooks can be demanded. There are fire extinguishers as well to prevent any accidents. One need not hunt for entertainment as it is abundantly available outside. Still, the boat is stocked with television and indoor games to keep the travelers occupied. Hence one need not feel sick of a long boat travel as gourmets can always be supplied with their favorite foods, aged people can relax themselves often, and children can have an all-time recreation; in addition to the environment that is appealing to one’s eyes. Thus houseboats can make a traveler feel at home comfortable enough to make one believe the ‘hoys’ to be real ‘houses’!!!
