Some of houseboat cruise also takes tourists to the periphery of wildlife sanctuary. I think taking a house boat tour in scenic backwaters of the state will be the most magical moment of your life.

There are several backwater destinations in this heavenly state. Alleppey, Kumarakom, Fort Kochi, Trivandrum, Kozhikode, Kuttanad, etc are names to few.
