A luxury Kerala backwater destination - Alleppey surrounds you with serene greens and glittering water channels that snake they way through dense green thickets in lazy splendor.

Also known as Alappuzha, Alleppey is a tiny market town with a flourishing coir industry. This scenic Kerala destination languors on the banks of shining green backwaters that seem to be on the same level as the ground. Toddy tapping, prawn farming and fishing are the main source of income in this sleepy hamlet where the rustle of wet palm frods is at times the only indication of life.

Alleppey springs to life with frenzied activity, festivities and visitors during the annual Nehru Trophy Backwater Boat Race. Villagers from backwater hamlets in and around Alleppey participate in these races with unfettered enthusiasm as brightly painted Chunduvalloms (boats) egg on as frenzied oarsmen compete for the Nehru Trophy.

Often these boats are designed in the shape of snakes and have the capacity to accommodate more than a hundred oarsmen at a time.

While on an Alleppey tour you must explore its tourist attractions. See the Chettikulangara Bhagavathi Temple, Kottamkulangara Mahavishnu Temple, Mannarasala Sree Nagaraja Temple, Krishnapuram Temple, St. Andrews Church, Gajendra Miksham and the famous Mullukal Temple.
