Bioluminescent Brilliance in Kumbalangi ( Kochi )

Greetings Hivers ..!
Hope you are doing well . This is one of the topic that i wanted to cover for a long time .
I recently had a trip to kumbalangi couple of weeks back . Had a magical experience there .

Bioluminescent Brilliance in Kumbalangi

While bioluminescence occurs in marine environments around the world, one of the most spectacular displays happens in the village of Kumbalangi, along the scenic backwaters of Kochi, India. Its just 17km away from my place .

I have heard about this few years back but i have never got a chance to see it . Once it was evening here in Ernakulam , we went out for a ride to Kumbalangi .
We had a good friend who stays in Kumbalangi And runs a business out there . SO we all decided to have a small visit to his farm .

There had an intricate system to catch & harvest seafood like tiger prawns .

And its was also our friends birthday . And We Decided to give him a small surprise .
That night we couldn't find a cake in the area . So we had to make an impromptu cake with some donuts and a candle 😆 .

As we ventured into the night . We made our way to the place where the bioluminescence occurs . Approaching the water, a sense of wonder enveloped us . Our friend had arranged a Vanji ( A Beautiful traditional wooden boat here in Kerala ) for us .

It was around 200 Rupees ( 2.40 USD ) for a 30 min trip around the place . Totally worth the money I would say .!

Under the dark sky, we headed to the water's edge, feeling excited. As we got closer, it felt like something magical was about to happen . We embarked on the boat under the cover of night .
Then, out on the water, something amazing happened. The waves began to sparkle with tiny lights! . Every ripple made the water glow blue . Each wave that lapped against the boat, sparks of light danced and flickered, creating an enchanting spectacle that seemed to defy explanation .

Here is a small video of the magical boat ride we had . And I also made a short soundtrack to go with it .

As we stepped off the boat and onto solid ground, we carried with us the magic of that moment, a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us when we venture into the unknown. It was a journey that had filled us with awe and gratitude, and one that we would carry with us for a lifetime.

Thanks for stopping By .!
