Kuttanad

It is Kerala's central rice granary, where vast extents of green paddy farmlands combined with charming backwaters create some extraordinary sights.
Kuttanad is all about a rural community. With its farming below sea level (about 4 to 10 feet), Kuttanad's land occupies a sociocultural foundation of all of its own. Four major rivers of Kerala flow into this region. 
During the harvest season, the vast extent of paddy fields will be full of farmers immersed in different farming activities; done traditionally. Early morning, one can see women carrying their lunch boxes and sickles to the paddy fields. Farmers are already sowing seeds, removing weeds, diverting waterways, etc.
The Kuttanad region is also abundant in ‌the avian population. You can easily find many parrots flying in the paddy fields, especially in those areas with rice stalks in bloom. You can also see a black blanket spread across the sky, revealing another flock of birds at a closer look. 
Don't forget to stroll along the canals surrounding Kuttanad lined with tall coconut palms that swing in the wind as you explore the villages. During most of the day, these canal ranges would be abuzz with several activities. Here you can see merchants on the boat selling vegetables, groceries, and fish to families on these canals' banks. You can find country boats transporting bulk goods to nearby markets, such as coconut husk, rice grains, etc.
Here at Kuttanad, the most fascinating sight is the ducks, who quack together in large numbers and move across the backwaters in large numbers, controlled by men in small boats. Men can be seen collecting lime shells from the depths; others fishing with nets and traditional cane baskets called Ottal.
Visit the small, traditional roadside eateries for backwater fish delicacies and tapioca if you want to try some local dishes. Many people enjoy Toddy because of its unique taste and availability.
You can see Kuttanad a little more exciting if you rent a boat. You can hire motorboats, houseboats, shikhara, etc., from the jetty operated by the government or the private agents available at the nearby locality. Places worth visiting in Kuttanad include Nedumudi, Kavalam, and Champakulam.
