Alappuzha, the Venice of the east, is very famous for its serene backwaters and the traditional houseboats. Touted as the granary of Kerala, Alapuzha is one of the most popular backwaters of Kerala. It forms a part of the Vembanad lake, the biggest lake in Kerala. A cruise through the incredible backwaters introduces you to the wonders of Kuttanad Villages and picture-perfect lakes and prestigious coir industries, and simple village life along the banks.

An overnight stay in the houseboat equipped with all the comforts like cosy bedrooms, chic toilets, kitchen and even a balcony for angling is an enthusing experience. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy the backwaters blessed with bountiful natural beauty around you.

Nehru trophy boatrace organised in the Punnamada lake on 2^nd Saturday of August every year is a famed event which attracts worldwide attention. Months from November to February will be suitable for planning a trip to the Aleppey backwaters. Months from march to May will be apt, if you planning vacation during summer season.
