POOVAR

POOVAR BACKWATERS

Poovar is about 45 minutes drive from Kovalam and this is a must see place. One can hire boats for a trip in the backwaters. We paid Rs.1600/- for a one and a half hour ride in the backwaters. The boat goes through densely wooded areas and ride is truly exhilarating.



Many colorful birds can be seen during the ride and it is a photographer’s delight. The boat ride takes you to Golden sand beach which is one of its kind and very beautiful. During the boat ride we also came across a statue of Mother Mary on a rock which is very beautiful. You will find an elephant rock a naturally formed rock structure in the shape of a standing elephant which is very beautiful. You can also see floating restaurant during the ride. Though we had paid Rs.1600/   the trip was truly memorable and unique. True value for money.
