Start your adventure in Alleppey with a visit to the scenic Alappuzha Beach. This stunning beach is renowned for its palm-lined shores and sparkling blue waters, providing an unforgettable backdrop for swimming and watching the sunset. Walk along the beach and take in the local atmosphere, or head out into the water for activities such as parasailing or jet skiing. This beach also offers a range of food options, with plenty of seafood dishes to enjoy.
No visit to Alleppey is complete without experiencing a backwater tour. Glide through the tranquil canals and witness rural life along the lush banks of the waterways. Watch the locals fishing or harvesting the surrounding paddy fields while you take in the beautiful scenery. You can choose from a range of tours, including a houseboat tour or a canoe tour. A backwater tour is perfect for those who want to explore the local culture and nature of Alleppey.
If you have more time, you can also explore nearby attractions such as Krishnapuram Palace, Marari Beach or St. Andrews Basilica. If you have less time, you can skip Alappuzha Beach and start your adventure with a backwater tour. Remember to bring sunscreen and insect repellent for outdoor activities. Try to avoid the monsoon season from June to September as it can limit the range of activities to enjoy. Lastly, always check the opening hours and availability of tours before setting out on your adventure.
