Alleppey: Kerala's Backwaters and Houseboat Capital

Alleppey, officially Alappuzha, is Kerala's backwater capital: a network of canals, paddy flats and Vembanad Lake where the classic way to stay is a night or two aboard a traditional kettuvallam houseboat. Experience My India suggests one to two nights here, treated as a place to slow down rather than a box to tick, usually as the backwater leg of a longer Kochi-to-Varkala route.
