点评:In March in our last leg of Kerala Tour we visited Poovar island. It is very famous for its backwater cruise...There are different types of cruise available depending on boat size and duration...minimum is for 1 hour for Rs 2000-3000..Beware of the middlemen posing as booking agent near the jetty. .we were forced by one such fraudulent agent to take 3 hrs sunset ride consisting of AVM canal, neyaar river, mangroves, golden beach etc for 6500. But this unpleasantries aside boat cruise is not all loss.. specially the last leg of the journey where they take you to the golden beach and the Mother Mary statue ...sunset from there is really beautiful. Mangrove ride though feels like a rather hyped up poor cousin of Sunderbans or Bhitorkonika...it doesn't have the beauty or variety of flora and fauna of those two places...backwater AVM canal and the river is beautiful at places but nothing special than other places in Kerala. So all in all go there if you have an extra day to kill and haven't been to Kochi or Aleppy backwaters...otherwise allot an extra day for Varkala and enjoy the cliff laden golden beach.
翻译:三月份,在我们喀拉拉邦之旅的最后一站,我们去了普瓦尔岛。普瓦尔岛以其内河游船而闻名……根据船只大小和游船时长,有各种类型的游船可供选择……最短一小时的游船价格为2000-3000卢比……要小心码头附近那些冒充预订代理的中间人。我们被一个骗子代理强迫参加了一个3小时的日落游船之旅,行程包括AVM运河、内亚尔河、红树林、金色沙滩等等,价格为6500卢比。不过,抛开这些不愉快的经历,游船之旅也并非一无是处……特别是旅程的最后一段,他们会带你到金色沙滩和圣母玛利亚雕像那里……那里的日落景色真的非常美丽。然而,红树林之旅感觉像是孙德尔本斯或比托尔科尼卡的低配版……它没有那两个地方的美丽景色和丰富的动植物种类……AVM运河和河流在某些地方景色优美,但与其他喀拉拉邦的景点相比,并没有什么特别之处。总之,如果你有多余的一天时间,而且还没去过科钦或阿勒皮的内陆水域,那就去那里吧……否则,就多留一天时间去瓦尔卡拉,欣赏那里悬崖林立的金色沙滩。
