A few of the famous backwaters of Kerala are located here and it is even often referred to as the “Venice of the East” due to its grid of canals that connect to the backwaters.

The climate here is another factor which an attractive aspect to many is as it experiences pleasant weather throughout the year.

The roads are also a good option as the highways have excellent roads and views that make for a good drive, if youé travelling from Chennai or Bangalore.
