Kuttanad, a stretch of 75 km stands
sandwiched between the vast serene
sea & the magnificent hills.
The bewildering labyrinth of shimmering
waterways composed of lakes, canals,
rivers & rivulets, is lined
with dense tropical greenery and
preserves rural Kerala life styles
that are completely removed from
the buzz of city life . The views
change from narrow canals and dense
vegetation to open vistas and dazzling
green paddy fields.
The sweeping Network of canals
honey-combing the town of Alappuzha
has earned the sobriquet, "THE
VENICE OF THE EAST". Do not
miss out on a ride into Kuttanad
through shimmering, green paddy
fields and tail-waging, head-bobbing
groups of ducks. The Coir workers
too present an interesting sight.
Alleppey becomes the cynosure of
all eyes in August-September, every
year when the water regatta unfolds
itself.
