We planned a short trip to Kerala. We were exploring some offbeat places in Kerala and stumbled upon this small village called malarikkal ,near Kottayam were we got to see 600 acres of water lilies which blooms only for 3 months.

Tranquil paddy fields are blanketed with bright pink water lilies, their waxy, disc-like leaves spread over the water.

An annual phenomenon, these native water lilies, known as aambal in Malayalam, bloom at night and wilt as the day gets hotter.

They appear in fields after harvest and country boatmen ferry people up and down the pink expanse.They charge 50 Rs per person for 30min.

Ideal season: September to November

The ideal time to visit is 6.30 am to 9:00 am.

Malarikkal is around 10 km from Kottayam town and around 45km from Alappuzha.

we rented a scooty from Allepey :400Rs per day and explored this place early morning
