We planned for a kerala trip during the month of December. It was on season so finding hotels were difficult. The last place in our itinerary was Alleppey or popurarly known as "Alappuzha". We drove our way to Alappuzha from Munnar. There are primarily two places to visit in Alleppey. One is Alleppey beach and the other is the houseboat cruises in Kerala backwater. To be honest it’s a one day trip. Since we were not familiar with the places, so we stayed there for 2 days. One strange thing I noticed, there were no hotels/lodges near the railway station. The food wasn’t good at all. Vegetarian food was little bit okay’ish type but non-veg was pathetic mainly because of the use of curry leaves & coconut oil. The climate was subtle as it was December. Also the place remains crowded with foreign tourists throughout the season.
