En route Covered
Munroe Island : This beautiful small village is surrounded by
Ashtamudi lake and Kallada river. Blessed with a number of criss-cross
canals and zigzag water channels, this Island plays a host to so
many migratory birds from various countries around the world. You

Crow pheasant, and Paddy Birds. There is yet another rare chance to
see the traditional Indian spice plants such as Pepper, Nutmeg and
Cloves.

people. It is very interesting to watch the coir making by the
village ladies with the help of weaving
Wheels. They make the coir ropes by hand. In addition to this, on

"copra" [dried coconut]. Among the routine traditional engagements,
duck, poultry farm and prawn breeding are common in all houses.
