Alappuzha

Alappuzha, also known as Alleppey, is a charming backwater town in Kerala, often called the 'Venice of the East'. It's famous for its serene canals, lush paddy fields, and houseboat stays. The town is also a major center for coir manufacturing and the venue for the annual Nehru Trophy Boat Race. Alappuzha offers a unique experience of tranquil backwater life. The houseboat stays are a major draw, but can be expensive and touristy. The town itself is relatively small and easy to navigate, but can get crowded during peak season.
