Alleppey

Alleppey is a graceful reminder to pause, breathe & reflect

A charming backwater in the south of Kerala, Alleppey gracefully reminds us to pause, breathe and appreciate the bounty of nature. Its canals give way to lagoons, lakes and backwaters which meander through lush green coconut plantations and emerald rice fields. Waterways take precedence over roads and the best way to explore this gorgeous district is by skimming along the narrow canals by boat, and infact, the city plays host annually to the Nehru Trophy snake boat competition.
