Kerala’s network of navigable backwaters stretches to over 900km. These served as the main mode of transport in the bygone era. The most important town in this stretch is Alleppey or Alappuzha. It is known as the ‘Venice of the East’. It is also home to Kuttanad, the rice bowl of Kerala, one of the very few places in the world where farming is done below sea level. Proceed to Alleppey for a very special experience of cruising on board the famous houseboats. The houseboat will cruise through the tranquil backwaters, passing by lush green paddy fields, villages, temples, etc. giving you an opportunity to view the life on the backwaters.
