Highlights
Paravur Backwaters is one of the lesser known, tightly kept secret locations in southern Kerala. The Paravur Backwaters is safe and a sheltered waterbody, without much influence of the tidal effects. You can be assured of the safety as the depth of the lake in general is not more than 10 feet and not wider than 1 km. This ensures you don't paddle out and lose orientation in unknown waters. You will find it truly unique place to paddle to the Black Devil Snail Sandbar as it is a dynamic sandflat that constantly changes its shape and size due to wind, tide, current and water levels.

About Trivandrum
Trivandrum, also spelt Thiruvananthapuram, is the capital of Kerala, a green coastal city of temples, palaces and museums close to long beaches.
Trivandrum, or Thiruvananthapuram, is the capital of Kerala and sits on a series of low hills near the southern tip of mainland India. At its heart stands the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, a Vishnu temple in the Dravidian style with a tall gopuram, and the old fort quarter around it was once the seat of the Travancore kings. The Napier Museum is a red-and-white building in the Indo-Saracenic style, set in a park with a zoo.
