NewYear Trip to the "Venice of the East"...

My friend joined me in Alleppey 3 days before the New Year day. We along with my cousin covered the backwaters, beaches and an island called Pathiramanal(meaning "sands of night") which is near Kumarakom in the Vemabanad Lagoon.
We also went to the first eco-tourism site in India called Thenmala, which is famous for its elevated canopy walk through the dense trees and adventure activities.
Here are a few snaps from kodanda's SLR and my Canon SX-10IS.

The Beach Festival..

Beach festival was quite good this time around compared to last year. This starts from the last few days before the new year's eve to the new year. You can see an ocean of foreigners on the beach, in the town, backwaters etc, etc..It's a great festive atmosphere which thrives during this time.
Lot of programs happen coupled with celebrations during the last week on the beach.
