Introduction

Alappuzha has a wonderful past that owes its modern existence to the efforts of Diwan Raja Kesavadas in the second half of the 18th century. Diwan Raja Kasavadas was instrumental in making Alappuzha a major port city in his time and for developing the system of inland canals, used for transportation and navigation, that is seen today. The name Alappuzha means "the land between the sea and network of rivers flowing into it". It is a fitting name: there are a significant number of canals, backwaters, beaches and lagoons in and around the town. Alappuzha and Kerala in general, has excellent weather due to its proximity to the ocean. The temperature rarely goes above 35 degrees Celsius and never below 20 degrees. The best time to visit is from September to March. The monsoon, from June to August, always brings heavy wind and rains. Thit is an excellent time to visit if you want to partake in a bit of monsoon tourism.

  • The city itself is a sight to see. Exploring the city, mainly by boat, can often lead to memorable experiences. Bring a camera and there are many photo opportunities on the waterways and beaches.
  • If you are visiting Alappuzha, enquire about the schedule of temple festivals. Alappuzha is one of the few places in Kerala where non-Hindus are allowed enter temple premises. Most of the Kerala temples do not allow this and if you are a foreigner you are instantly branded as non-Hindu and prevented from entering. Alappuzha temples are generally more open and accepting, though there might be a few areas inside the temples where entry is restricted. The Ambalapuzha temple festival is particularly impressive. Five elephants carry the Krishna idol, with a music accompaniment, for a distance of about 14 kilometers away from Alappuzha and to the temple. Make sure you try the rose palpayasam. The temple makes this traditional, sweet, milk-based drink by boiling it until the milk condenses and turns a light pink colour.
  • Jain Derasar 9.494963,76.323662 This temple is very calm and quiet temple. Allepey has a very small Jain population.

  • Sreekrishna Swamy Temple Ambalapuzha 9.3836,76.3695 This temple was built in the 15th century. Of interest here is an extremely distinctive Paal-Payasam (a sweet milk dessert made out of Rice, with jaggery, in milk). Its recipe is a well guarded secret. It's believed the same cooks cannot reproduce the same taste using same ingredients, anywhere, because of a special blessing given by the Lord to his favorite kitchen. Definitely try some if you are somewhere near this temple. This payasam is distributed everyday, exactly at 12:00 Noon. Only those who have a prior booking are allowed to partake. You can get one from the stall just outside the temple.

Top Must Do Travel Tips to Alappuzha

  • Alleppey Beach 9.494155,76.317177 Western edge of town Entry is Free A fairly large, flat and clean beach.

Camel and pony rides are available, however swimming is not recommended unless you are a strong and experienced swimmer. The water is very deep and the current can be very strong.

Houseboat Touring

Alappuzha is inlaid with channels that support thriving backwater tourism. A houseboat cruise along the backwaters can be a great way to see and do all that is available in Alappuzha. Houseboats can be rented for 12 Hrs to few days. There is a new hop-on, hop-off service through remote backwaters in a shared-houseboat. These boats come equipped with a furnished bedroom, sit-outs, kitchen, modern bath and toilet facilities. Some of the house boats even sport an air-conditioner. The houseboats are manned by drivers and a cook. From the boat, you can observe the everyday village life of people, stop for a toddy (traditional mildly drink made from coconut sap) with grilled prawns, watch birds and relax in the middle of the lake. It's advisable to book a houseboat through houseboat operators rather than depending on agents. Agents take commissions between ₹500 to ₹2000. Book on the internet if the option is available; it is far better to not wait until the last minutes during the high season. Booking on the internet can sometimes earn you a lower price and most, reputable operators have good online service and support. Average pricing is variable, depending on season and demand, but you can expect a base price in the range of ₹8,000 overnight (21 hours) for standard non-a/c, ₹10,000 for standard a/c and ₹12,000 for Premium. If you are lucky, you can sometimes get last minutes bargains from houseboat operators whose boat does not have business on that particular day and can get a 2 a/c bedroom houseboat for one night even for ₹7,000.
