Kerala is abundant in backwaters and almost every district of Kerala is gifted with scenic backwaters stretches. The largest backwater stretch here is the Vembanad Lake, which flows through districts of Alappuzha, Kottayam and Kochi and drains into the Arabian Sea near the Kochi port. The Ashtamudi Lake (means lakes with eight arms), which covers a large part of Kollam district in the south, is the second largest backwater stretch in the state and regarded as the gateway to the Kerala backwaters.
However, the most interesting feature of the Kerala backwaters is the Kuttanad region, known as the rice bowl of Kerala. The significance of area lies in the fact that probably this is the only place in Asia where farming is done below sea level, using a system of dykes and bunds.
