Last year we visited Kerala and were mesmerised by its natural beauty.From Cochin to Munnar to Kumarokom the journey was filled with a million sunset glories and sunrise warmths.We stayed at the taj and the service was impeccable.We trekked on the mountains,cruised in the backwaters,and soaked in the sun.The food especially the fish was a gastronomic delight and the people were beautiful.....except for one downside .The backwaters near the taj  kumarkom was an ecological disaster .Plastic bottles ,oil spills from the speedboats,other wate from the hotels marred the beauty and pose threats to the delicate marine life and the many birds whose habitat exists there.We complained to the hotel staff and also wrote to the health and environment ministry in Kerala.The hotel management wrote back to say they will be taking care.Have any of visited Kerala recently? Do you have a similar story to share?
