We took a local ferry from Aleppy to Kottayam, on Lake Vembanad. It was absolutely breathtaking.

  1. I love these ferries ..there are the larger ones in which you can take your car onto the boat and get off at the next jetty 🙂 then once again take the road. Lovely sketches , Soo . Hope you had all the amazing food there
