Alappuzha
How green is my backwater ?
Alleppey or Alappuzha, on the banks of Vembanad Lake is well known as the Venice of the East. Its similarity with the Italian city is all due to the network of backwater canals around it. The town of Alappuzha is one of the gateways to the backwaters of Kerala.
One of the best-known ports along the Malabar coast, Alappuzha is doubly advantaged. Not only does it have natural beauty but it is also the hub of the coir trade and coir production centre.
