ALLEPPEY - Backwaters , Houseboats and.... The Sun the sea and the beaches!!
Now for the last stretch of our wonderful Kerala trip. We left Munnar early in the morning, as a result, did not get stuck in traffic! After Munnar our next destination was Alleppey also called Alappuzha. This place is also called the Venice of the East !

The highlight of a travel to Alleppey is the leisurely boat cruise through the stretch of backwaters enjoying the most entrancing scenery of palm-fringed banks, quiet water-bound villages, Chinese fishing nets, prawn farming and coir manufacture. Alleppey, one of the exotic sites of backwater tourism in the state of Kerala is better known as the "Venice of the East" for its labyrinth of lakes, lagoons and freshwater rivers crisscrossing it.
Stay in house boats are lifetime experience in Alleppey. This is one of the most popular activities , which relax the visitors completely and erase all the stress of daily life. Some houseboats have spa treatments, beauty salons and massage parlors. People also get engaged in fishing and do experimental cooking in traditional methods. A walk through the villages in evening is also rejuvenating. Shopping and strolling in the beaches are also the two most favorite past time of the Alappuzha travelers.
The travelers should wear loose and comfortable clothes and should carry torch, mosquito repellent, mobile chargers, and compulsorily sun tan creams. Carrying some necessary medicines is also included in the Alleppey travel tips.
We were very excited to reach this beautiful place. Though, nothing can match the greenery we saw in Munnar !! That was just soooo green.. breathtaking..... must say! Still this place had its own charm!
