Top Things to Do in Alleppey

Alappuzha has earned a remarkable reputation due to its beautiful breathtaking Alleppey backwaters, canals as well as lakes. Thus, a visit to this region should be a part of your Kerala travel itinerary. This quick guide focuses on the top things that you can do to explore the best this region offers.

Early Morning Kayaking

Kayaking through narrow canals is something that every tourist must experience. There is nothing like enjoying the sunrise view while kayaking. You can hear different types of birds and enjoy great views. You can even chat with locals. Opt for a guided kayaking tour. The guide will tell you how to move the kayak, and you can just start. Physical fitness is crucial to enjoy this sport. Charges, including kayak rent, guide, life jacket, and snacks are between Rs. 1000 and 2000.

Visit a Water-Locked Village

If you wish to spend time in a village surrounded by water, consider visiting Kuttanad. It is known for rice cultivation in the Alappuzha district. You might feel strange while your boat passes in front of someone’s home. No worries. People in Kuttanad are tourist-friendly. There are paddy fields and coconut groves everywhere. And views are excellent during the sunset period. A shikara boat is ideal for traveling via the backwaters surrounding this region. It can cost Rs 1000 per hour.

Spend a Few Hours at One of the Beaches

Alappuzha Beach is super clean despite being one of the most visited Kerala traveltourist destinations.

The water is crystal clear and you can expect less crowd during the morning. There is also an old lighthouse that offers panoramic views of Alappuzha.

Marari Beach is the option for you if you wish to just sit and relax under the umbrella. The beach is clean, with a very limited number of tourists. There are a few cafes that offer tasty snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.

Houseboat Cruise

Houseboats cruise through a network of lakes, canals, and rovers. A houseboat stay is the best way to explore the region’s scenic beauty and culture. You can also enjoy birdwatching, fishing, and shop in the local floating markets.

Depending on your group headcount, you can choose the number of bedrooms. If you select the on-board meal option, you ask the chef to cook a meal out of the fresh catch. A two-hour journey in the houseboat costs around Rs 2000 per person.

There are resorts located next to various lakes. You can enjoy the views of Alleppey backwaters, and houseboats cruising around. To get rooms with the best views at the right price, you can trust HostMyTrips.
