Alleppy Tour - The perfect blend of beauty, adventure and pleasure

I along with my office colleagues Monika, Parul, Tahir, Sanjog and Govind reached Alleppy in the evening. We were greeted by gorgeous greenery of this land which was very refreshing. We were here to spend time in the lap of mother nature. Alleppy is a wonderful place located in God's own country Kerala. Tourists from all over the world come here for experiencing the charm of backwaters. Embraced by the enchanting waves of the Arabian Sea, Alleppy is popularly known as the Venice of the East. It is also known as the 'rice bowl of Kerala'. It is the very few regions in the world where farming is practiced below sea level.

Alleppy - Backwaters of Kerala

It is an amazing backwater tourist destination which offers palm fringed canals, shores with views from the day to day life of the people here, picturesque landscape, sandy beach and salubrious climate. Alleppy is also known as Alappuzha. This destination is also famous for its snake boat races. Truly it is a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate the body and mind.

We were booked in the Palmgrove resort which is a beautiful resort located on the banks of the mesmerizing lake Punnamada amidst natural greeneries. Far from the maddening crowd of a city, we were enjoying peace and natural beauty in plenty.

The next morning we started early for enjoying backwater adventure, which turned out to be the best part of our Alleppy travel. We went to the Kuttanad backwaters region of Alleppy which is very famous. The view of the rising sun from the boat was simply overwhelming. It is the place where the thrilling snake boat races are held and amazing houseboat cruises are conducted. This backwater region is surrounded by palm trees and paddy fields offering captivating views. Our six hour cruise adorned our day with golden memories and fabulous experience. While sailing through the backwater our guide showed us the temples we passed by. He also told us that in Alleppy life orbits around water. The children here learn swimming and fishing at a very young age.

During our backwater cruise we stopped at a local village to relish a cup of tea in a pleasant ambiance. While relishing hot tea we saw the local school children on their way to school. They smiled and waved at us. The people here are very friendly. Overall our experience of backwater cruise was great. We enjoyed the scenic beauty, natural greenery, talks with friends people and tasty tea.

Travel to Alleppy for wonderful holidays and go back home completely rejuvenated and with a record of your own golden memories. Alleppy tourism has a lot of things to enchant you.
