Start your first day in Allapey with an enchanting boat ride in the Backwaters. Explore the scenic beauty of this unique water world, lush green vegetation, and vibrant flora and fauna while sailing on a traditional Kerala houseboat. Take a tour of a local village and learn about the life and culture of the people living on the shores of the backwaters. Don't forget to try the famous Karimeen Pollichathu, a local delicacy made with freshly caught fish, and served hot off the griddle.
Immerse yourself in the rich heritage and culture of Allapey with a visit to Krishnapuram Palace. The palace features exquisite architecture, beautiful gardens, and a stunning collection of antiques like the Gajendra Moksha mural. Continue your journey to the Alleppey Beach for a relaxed afternoon by the shore, enjoying the sights and sounds of the Arabian Sea. Don't forget to sip on some refreshing coconut water while soaking in the serene surroundings.
If you have more time to spare, you could spend the day at the Vembanad Lake, the largest lake in Kerala, which is only 4.5 km from Allapey town. You could also explore the Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple, considered to be one of the most sacred temples in South India, which is only 2 km from the Alleppey Beach.
If you have less time, you could consider skipping the Alleppey Beach and spending more time exploring the other places of interest.
