Alleppey (Malayalam: ആലപ്പുഴ; also Alappuzha), is an administrative district in the Indian State of Kerala. Alleppey is a town with canals, backwaters, beaches, and lagoons, it was described as 'Venice of the East.' The Backwaters of Alleppey is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kerala.
The best way to enjoy the beauty of Alleppey is living on kettuvallams, tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the boat without walking.
It is said that most of the land around here is below sea level, thanks to the dam, people can live here safely.
It is not Indian Ocean, but a lake named Vembanad (Vembanad Kayal or Vembanad Kol), which is the longest lake in India and the largest lake in Kerala.
The green along the river seems boundless, it is hard to believe that such a big area of fields are made solely by reclamation.
There are many kettuvallams floating on the lake, most of them are occupied by local families, the music is very loud, lively but not lovely.
Perhaps this area is a popular tourist destination, you can find many shops, restaurants and massage parlors, but the air still remains serene, don’t worry.
