Things to see and do in Allapuzha

Exploring the backwaters

One of India's most beautiful landscapes, the backwaters of Kerala are a vast interconnected network of canals, rivers, lagoons and lakes. An important transportation network for the fishing, spice and rice industries, the backwaters are also home to large communities of villages whose lives revolve around the waters, and exploring them is a highlight of a visit to this most attractive of Indian states. The best way to explore these interweaving waterways is by a traditional houseboat. An over-night stay, with comfortable accommodation on the boat, and a truly Kerala-style dinner is the best way to experience a slice of Gods own country!

Snake Boat Races

For a few months every year during the monsoon season, the state of Kerala comes alive with colorful snake boat races. Four main snake boat races (and as many as 15 minor ones) are held each year, in and around Alleppey, the exact dates varying each year depending on the phase of the moon. The exception is the Nehru Trophy Boat Race, which is always held on the second Saturday of August.
