Alappuzha Tourism
Situated on the banks of Vembanad Lake, the town's commercial centre lives in a maze of canals. Set in the labyrinth of Backwater channels, the town is one of the best gateways to explore the unspoilt countryside.
A historic and romantic name from Kerala's past, Alappuzha was once one of the best known ports along the coast of Malabar.
The centre for Backwater Cruises in Kerala, the Backwaters of Alappuzha (Alleppey) can be best experienced in a country boat. Alappuzha (Alleppey) is a bustling, messy town of ramshackle wood and corrugalated roof houses, chiefly significant in the Coir industry.
The large network of canals provides Alleppey its lifeline. It has a spectacular long sandy beach. At one end are the dense palm groves that are so characteristic of Kerala's landscape.
