Alleppey coined the 'Venice of the East.' Alleppey or Alapuzzha is a mosaic of mirror-still lagoons, picture book lakes, palm fringed canals and a long sandy beach all brimming with glimpses into the daily life in the Kerala country side.

Meandering streams, chirpy birds, murmuring forests, and the slender breeze makes you feel that heaven is here. You can sunbathe on the deck or observe the landscape from the protection of the cabin. The local’s whole life takes place here on the water. People sail, fish, swim and bathe here. They do their washing and their washing up. They have become so adapted to the water that you can see people talking for an hour, while they are up to their necks in water. Peddlers take care of the supplies and public transport goes on the water. Countless water birds wait for their chance to catch a fish. The trip goes through a wonderful area full of palm trees, rice fields and floating water plants that surround the boat like an emerald green island.
