Alleppey The Venice of India
Anyone who is visiting Kerala must visit Allepey.A great place with huge network of cannels and backwaters.I was on Honneymoon last year when I have visited Alleppey.We are amazed by the beauty of backwaters.I had accomodation in a off shore resort as I could not got a house boat.I was there in December.All the houseboats are occupied.The resort is kool with all the morden aminities.It a theam base resort all the furniture and interior are tradinational Kerala style.The food was great with lots of hurb and fresh spice which grow in Kerala itself.Idle which is staple diet in Kerala is best if you have problem with your health.You can take ride in many boats which are cheap(200-500Rs) for 2-3 hour.In september there is snake boat race which you can enjoy.I was there in December so I havennt enjoied the boat race but I was happy watching snake boat on shore.Snake boat can accomodate 100+ paddler
If you are a I suggest that anyone should plan their visit in advance and should book house boat if you have deep pocket..House boat costs you (6k-15k) per day.Depends on the size(nos. of bedrooms), facility(ac, kitchen, etc..) of House boats.Houseboats wihh take you for ride and ancher midway or anyplace as you like.You can enjoy exotic fish dishes if you prefer nonveg else veg food is also good in the house boat.Enjoy the food , drink , greenery, backwater and open sky from the houseboat.
