Veeranpuzha Lake and Backwaters

Veeranpuzha is a popular tourist destination in Kochi. It is located in the northern extension of Vembanad Lake and is surrounded by a series of brackish lagoons and lakes that run parallel to the Malabar coast. The Vembanad Lake, as it is well called, is surrounded by lush green paddy fields flowing in the mild air, adding to the magical beauty of the location.

The region is also a melting pot of contemporary life and living along the backwaters. Angling is a popular weekend sport among the residents, and the area is known for farming Pokkali rice, a Kerala specialty.
