Aquaserene - As serene as it can be (Part 2)

Continued from Part 1

The calm lake was occasionally enlivened by the presence of small row boats. Is it the pecularity of the lake or the ambience, everything was looking quite beautiful

A zoomed view of the typical Kerala style row boat.

Well I was intervened by the call for a visit to the gaming zone. First we ventured to do some fishing. The kids just loved the fishing, even though they did not catch even a single fish

Then it was time for table tennis.

But the indoor game facilities were not well maintained and the place was not so clean. So did not stay there for long. Went straight to the badminton court.

It was truly fascinating to play in the court laid out in the backdrop of fine natural ambience.

We already had surpassed the lunch time, hence headed straight to the restaurant. The restaurant also was another traditional construction, but the interiors were of high standard

After lunch decided to explore the swimming pool of the resort.

These swans greeted us on our way to pool. How beautiful these creatures are. Every movement of these beauties had an elegance associated with it.

There is a neatly laid out hanging bridge just before the pool.

Once we cross the hanging bridge, the beautiful pool is in front of us.

A true visual delight created by the acquatic ambience.

It seemed like, suddenly we were in a different world all together. This change is quiet evident from the pool side photos.

There is an ayurvedic centre towards one side of the pool. Just see the pics and judge yourself on how beautiful it is.

The sky seemed to be changing its mood quite rapidly.

Our moods were also changing and soon I could see one of my friends trying different kinds of jumps which pretty much summarizes our excitement.

Time just flew past and it was time to bid goodbye to this beautiful landscape which provided lots of truly stunning views of the nature.

This seems to be a perfect honeymoon destination, a perfect place for a family get together, a perfect place if you want to stay away from all those deadly poisonous gases and more deadly day to day daily chores.
The day out package is ideally suited for a team outing and there are amble oppurtunities to create different team games in this backdrop to make the outing more memorable and valuable.

Aquaserene - As serene as it can be (Part 1)

A resort set up in the backdrop of beautiful backwaters seems quite an attractive prospect worth exploring. The resort is approximately 60 km northwards of Thiruvananthapuram in a place called Paravoor in Kollam district. Take NH 47 Route upto Chathannoor and then turn left (westwards) and follow the resort's sign board through some narrow roads to reach this resort.

We opted for a day out package, comprising of welcome drink, a buffet lunch, tea and a whole day usage of facilities available at the resort which includes indoor games, outdoor games, boating, pool, cycling etc.

Reached the resort at 10.00am. Parked the vehicle and turned around to see the beautiful reception

This scene itself was quite promising. We entered inside with lot of expectations.

Inside the reception we found a nicely maintained courtyard

We were escorted to one of the resorts. Found this small pool on our way to the resort. Needless to say the landscaping of this resort seems to be truly professional with someone professional & aesthetic brain behind it.

All the resorts were independed two storyed traditional houses facing the waterfront.

The resort was an embodiment of typical traditional Kerala style construction.

The wooden panelled verandah was quite inviting.




The doors also had a traditional touch and the level of detailing was really good



The ground floor consisted of a living room, a dining area, one bathroom. The steps to the first floor is completely made of wood and once upstairs we found a well maintained bedroom.


The walls of bedroom also contained wooden panelling and there is a small balcony also.



Once in the balcony one can enjoy views like this.



We found a plantain inside the resort building



Can you guess where it is? It is here

Yes it is inside the bathroom. The bathroom has a courtyard sort of thing and an opening at the roof making this one quite interesting.

Stepped out of the resort to explore the surroundings.
This plant captured my attention



The exit/entrance path of boats to the vast lake from the resort itself presented a good sight



Moved near the lake and it was time for a visual treat





The still water, the greenery surrounding it and vast sky provides the right mixture to make one sit here and enjoy the calmness.

This guy was doing the same thing here for about 1 hour or so sitting still.

While I was sitting on the banks of the lake clicking, clicking and clicking I could hear a small cluck cluck sound near my legs in the lake. When I directed my vision to the direction of sound, I could see a small rock moving. On closer observation found that it is not a truly welcome visitor.

I don't remember how long I sat here enjoying the truly serene acquatic ambience.
