ALLEPPEY
Hello friends😀:-
Alleppey
Officially
called Alappuzha, Alleppey is a city in the South Indian state of Kerala.
Bordering the Laccadive Sea, it is known for its wide network of interlinking,
palm-fringed canals called backwaters and rejuvenating Ayurvedic resorts.
Allepey is
also popular for its Houseboat cruises that pass through the serene backwaters,
where you can catch glimpses of green paddy fields, choir making
activities, beautiful avifauna and witness the life of locals in Kerala.
Towards the shore lies the Alleppey beach in the Arabian Sea, a beautiful
example of the gems you’d find along the Malabar Coast. The appeal of this
beach is only amplified by the history attached to it, and a walk down the
137-year old pier is a must. Be sure to catch a traditional snake boat
race in the months of August and September and try out some toddy (palm
wine) at a local toddy shop for adding a touch of authenticity to your travel
experience in Alle

BEST TIME TO VISIT:
The best time to visit Alleppey is Iin the months of October and February when the temperature is
moderate (around 33°C), making it a perfect time to explore the city. Alleppey
experiences monsoons between June and September. It is not advisable to
tourists, but the monsoon lovers and the offbeat travellers can consider
visiting in June. But as the season progresses, the region gets torrential
rain, making it an unsuitable destination for travellers. Summers are also not
recommended for the extreme heat that hits the region as the temperature can go
as high as 40°C shutting all the outdoor activities.
