Alleppey, Kerala -Often called a gateway to Kerala’s picturesque backwaters, Alappuzha, also known by its Anglicised name Alleppey, was named the Venice of the East by Lord Curzon in the early 20th century. At one time the port here was one of the busiest trade centres in the country, dealing with traders all over the world. Located 53 km south of Kochi, Alappuzha is now famous for its innumerable houseboats that take you on a languorous journey on Kerala’s backwaters. Most houseboats have all the amenities and comforts of a hotel, so you can drift off in peace surrounded by nature’s bounty. Also explore some of the area’s beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise waters that make for a fun beach holiday. Looking for a little more action? Go kayaking, book tickets for the Nehru Cup Snake Boat Race, or walk around admiring some of the beautiful churches and temples the area has to offer.
