After 6 months being in India, Kerala is the state of where I've been living becomes a good space for me to start exploring India ...
A place where there is no civilisation around, Kerala offers the best. This is not saying they are underdevelopment but they are living with the mother nature with no hunger for any modern life!
Backwaters is one of the incridible things Kerala has offerred to the world, it is one of the places where I believe it is worth to visit once in my lifetime (especially when you happen to be in South India!)
Note: Kerala backwaters are "a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes (including Ashtamudi Kayal and Vembanad Kayal) linked by 1500 km of canals, both manmade and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range" (http://dictionary.babylon.com/Kerala%20Backwaters).
