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.
