Kovalam Beach, Trivandrum (Dist), Kerala (India)
This picture is taken in an extreme long shot with Canon EOS 600D SLR camera in day time mode.
Kovalam is an internationally renowned
beach with three adjacent crescent beaches. It has been a favourite
haunt of tourists, especially Europeans, since the 1930s. A massive
rocky promontory on the beach has created a beautiful bay of calm waters
ideal for sea bathing.
The leisure options at this beach are plenty and diverse. Sunbathing, swimming, herbal body toning massages, special cultural programmes and catamaran cruising are some of them. The tropical sun acts so fast that one can see the faint blush of coppery tan on the skin in a matter of minutes. Life on the beach begins late in the day and carries on well into the night. The beach complex includes a string of budget cottages, Ayurvedic health resorts, convention facilities, shopping zones, swimming pools, Yoga and Ayurvedic massage centres.
Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), the capital city of Kerala, is just 16 km away from Kovalam and getting there is no hassle. But if you are on holiday it is better to stay in Kovalam and visit the city.
The City of Thiruvananthapuram has interesting places to see like the Napier Museum, the Sri Chitra Art Gallery, the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Ponmudi hill station etc. SMSM Institute, a State owned handicrafts emporium, is the ideal place to pick up ethnic curios and other articles.
Best time to visit: September to March, though it is an all-year-round destination.
How to Get there:-
1.)Nearest railway station: Thiruvananthapuram Central, about 16 km.
2.)Nearest airport: Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, about 10 km.

Kuttanad Backwater, Alappuzha (Dist), Kerala (India)
This picture is taken in an extreme long shot with Sony Cybershot 16x zoom digital camera in day time mode. Kuttanad is a unique ecosystem located between Alappuzha and Kottayam districts in Kerala. This ecosystem spreads from Kochi in the north to Kollam at the south. Most of the agricultural activies in the region is done on land reclaimed from the banks of the vembanad lake. Being waterlogged it is ideal for paddy cultivation- the mainstay of its economy. This is done in fields through the watering process (pumping out water of the low depth portion of the lakes).
