Start your Alleppey journey by visiting the Alleppey Beach, one of the most popular beaches in Kerala. This pristine beach provides an excellent view of the Arabian Sea and is bordered by lush green palm trees. The calm and clear waters of the beach make it a perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing, and other water sports activities. You can also visit the famous lighthouse, located at the beach's shore, providing an excellent view of the spectacular sunset. Enjoy some seafood delicacies at the nearby shacks and cafes before hitting the bed.
Start your day by taking a scenic Houseboat Cruise in Alleppey's Backwaters. The backwaters are interlinked with canals, lagoons, and lakes, offering a unique landscape and a glimpse of the vibrant Kerala lifestyle. Houseboats come in various categories, from budget to luxury, and offer different cruise duration. Spend your day relaxing and enjoying a freshly prepared home-cooked meal. Later, witness the stunning sunset from the boat deck and experience the folk music and dance performance arranged onboard.
If you have more time, you can visit Marari Beach, a pristine and secluded beach located just a few kilometers from Alleppey Beach. If you have less time, opt for a half-day houseboat cruise instead. Don't forget to try local delicacies such as Kappa and Meen Curry and shop for handicrafts and spices to take back home.
