Access
Poovar is located in the Trivandrum district of the south Indian state of Kerela. You can only visit the backwaters by boat. Boats can be rented from any of the resorts, if you happen to stay there. Alternately you could go to the fishing village and hire a boat for a couple of hours to take you past the estuary, into the backwaters of the river. You can also book a guided boat tour. The best time for the boat ride is early morning.
