Kerala Backwaters

Alappuzha

The Alappuzha area is a place that coaxes you to let your hair down. The canals here form a web that serves the coir industry. There is nothing much here by way of sightseeing, but if you plan your trip around the second Saturday of August each year, you'll be in time for the Nehru Cup snakeboat race, an adrenaline-pumping local event.

Low slung chundan vellams or snake boats are decorated and it is rowed by up to 100 people. Alappuzha is known for its lazy cruises where you can float looking at the palm trees reflected in the green cool waters.
