Kuttanad (Alappuzha): The long, intricately carved snake boats of Kerala were all set for the ‘Olympics of the backwaters’ when a furious monsoon unleashed a wave of destruction on the state.

Now they lie forsaken, many of them damaged, an epitome of the forlorn tourist season the travel paradise stares at after being battered by its worst floods in a century.

The floods struck when the state was on the precipice of its prime tourist season, a crushing blow as Kerala tries to get back on its feet given that tourism is the state’s second strongest source of income and employs lakhs.
