The kettuvallam (houseboat) reached its overnight mooring point : Ambalapuzzha at around 17:20 hrs just before the sunset and enabled us to witness the grand phenomenon.

Sunset at Ambalapuzzha.
The setting sun behind the village of Ambalapuzzha as seen from the kettuvallam. The reflection of the sun can be seen in the rippled waters of the canal.

The actual mooring point offered a better view of the great ball of fire rapidly disappearing over the horizon.

Sunrise at Ambalapuzzha
The following morning, we were treated to another spectacular sight, this time...of the rising sun. The morning mist covered the paddy fields and created an additional calmness to the sunrise.
