Affectionately called the Venice of the East, Alleppey is a land of immense natural beauty. Sand witched between the blue waters of the Arabian Sea on one side and the foothills of the Western Ghats on the other side, Alleppey had always been a favoured destination of tourists since time immemorial. Its sun filled beaches, its lagoons, and canals criss-crossing the country side, its immense marine wealth, its snake boat races, its coir factories, and the relics of a glorious past have given Alleppey a pride of place in the international tourist map. Alleppey has much to offer to a discerning tourist. It is to all intends and purposes an ideally tourist destination in God’s own country.
