Q S T and R Block Kayal:
Situated in Kuttanad popularly known as the rice bowl of Kerala, QST
& R Block Kayals (backwaters) remind the visitor of the famous dikes
of Holland. A striking example of the indigenous agricultural engineering
know-how,here cultivation and habitation are made possible at four to
ten feet below the sea level. For this purpose extensive land has been
reclaimed from the backwaters and is protected by dikes built around
it. A leisurely cruise along the canals here is a memorable experience.

that most of the snake boat races are conducted and a majority of the
rice boat & houseboat cruises are scheduled. Kerala’s network of navigable
backwaters stretches to over 900 km. These serene waterways are fringed
by palm grove and paddy fields and offer a striking spectacle of the
rustic life.
