來自愛沙尼亞塔爾圖的瑪莉亞（Maaria Meesale）乘坐慢船航行，享受着蜿蜒的航程，沿着印度西南部卡拉拉邦的田園詩般的綠色迷宮般的水道，被當地人稱為「上帝的家園（God’s Own Country）」。
幽靜、涼爽和綠色：這不是一般人想像中的印度。船伕用竹竿撑行，漫遊如此寧靜，許多人不禁入睡。
卡拉拉邦是《國家地理》雜誌的「人生50個必到地方」之一。
Maaria Meesale from Tartu, Estonia, takes the slow boat on a meandering voyage through the idyllic green maze of waterways in the backwaters of Kerala, known as “God’s Own Country” to the locals in southwest India.
Serene, cool and green: it’s not how you imagine India to be. The boat is human-powered with a bamboo pole. The cruise is so tranquile that many fall asleep.
Kerala is one of National Geographic’s 50 Places of a Lifetime.
