ഒരു കുട്ടനാടൻ ജലയാത്ര

എന്താണ്
ബാക്ക്‌വാട്ടർ ക്രൂയിസ്?

ക്രൂയിസ് ഓപ്ഷനുകൾ കാണാംബുക്കിംഗ് അന്വേഷിക്കുക

പ്രകൃതിയുടെ വരദാനങ്ങളിലൂടെ ഒരു കുട്ടനാടൻ ജലയാത്ര…!

സമുദ്രനിരപ്പിന് താഴെയുള്ള അപൂർവ്വ ഭൂപ്രകൃതിയും, പച്ചപ്പട്ടു വിരിച്ച വയലേലകളാം പാടശേഖരങ്ങളും, കേരവൃക്ഷങ്ങൾ തണലേകുന്ന കുഞ്ഞു തുരുത്തുകളും കണ്ടുകൊണ്ട് പമ്പാനദിയുടെ കൈവഴികളിലൂടെ ഒരു മനോഹര യാത്ര.

ഇടത്തോടുകളുടെ ശാന്തതയും, വിശാലമായ കായൽപ്പരപ്പിന്റെ ഭംഗിയും, കുട്ടനാടൻ ഗ്രാമീണജീവിതത്തിന്റെ തനിമയും നേരിട്ടനുഭവിക്കാം.

വെറുമൊരു കാഴ്ചയ്ക്കപ്പുറം, മനസ്സിൽ എന്നും തങ്ങിനിൽക്കുന്ന ഓർമ്മകൾ സമ്മാനിക്കുന്നതാണ് ഞങ്ങളുടെ ബാക്ക്‌വാട്ടർ ക്രൂയിസ്.

വരൂ… ജലസൗന്ദര്യത്തിന്റെ മായാത്ത കാഴ്ചകൾ മനംകുളിർക്കെ കണ്ട് മടങ്ങാം.
