About Alleppey
Alappuzha, also known as Alleppey, is famous for its scenic and beautiful beaches and backwaters. Flanked by the Arabian Sea on the west and a string of lakes, lagoons and backwaters from all sides, Alappuzha make a picture perfect tourist destination in Kerala.
Famous as 'The Venice of the East' among tourists, a backwater houseboat tour in the pristine clear water around Alappuzha beaches provides a unique experience to its visitors. The enchanting view of wild animals playing and bathing and chirping birds flying in the clear blue sky, give an immense pleasure to you. This beautiful beach is a favorite haunt of sunset viewers. Its beauty is enhanced by the presence of a 140 years old pier that runs into the sea. There is also an old lighthouse nearby, which is of immense interest for the tourists. The famous Nehru Trophy Snake Boat Race takes place annually in August on Vembanad Lake in Alleppey. Each boat has a crew of up to 100 rowers and is avidly watched by thousands of spectators.
Alappuzha is also famous for its diverse and beautiful culture and festivals. Boat races organized here are major cultural attraction for the tourists.
