Nice view. The Ashtamudi lake looks quite big. As it is meeting the sea, is it a salt water lake? Thanks for sharing.

nice.. Ashtamudi is a starting point for the famous backwaters of Kerala from a tourist perspective. it is a Ramsar site which is now at its lowest as a backwater ecosystem. heavily polluted and disturbed through human activity, there have been some efforts to restore atleast a fraction of its past natural beauty and balance of late. but many feel it is beyond healing.

Thanks for the info Roopakji.Made a Google search and found out what is Ramsar!
It looks as if the future is bleak for these backwaters.But my mind says they may survive after all.....
