Kerala Backwaters : Alleppey - Sunrise & Sunset
|
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. | Sunset 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. |
