Alappuzha, often called the “Venice of the East,” is a dream destination for travellers seeking peace, nature, and authenticity. Australian and global visitors are drawn to its tranquil backwaters, traditional houseboats, and lush paddy fields. Glide past coconut groves and sleepy villages on a private boat and experience a side of India that feels untouched and calming.

Beyond the backwaters, you’ll find charming spots like Alappuzha Beach, the century-old pier, and the iconic lighthouse. Visit Krishnapuram Palace to learn about Kerala’s regal past, or explore hidden temples and coir factories for a glimpse of local life. Nature lovers can also enjoy bird watching at Pathiramanal Island, a serene haven in Vembanad Lake.
