Lush paddy fields, tall coconut groves, picture-perfect panorama, and idyllic backwaters of Alleppey certainly give Venice a run for its money. This little Kerala village, officially known by its traditional name Alappuzha, is a network of brackish lagoons, canals & inlets, fringed with lush greenery, and timeless tranquility. A world away from the hustle-bustle of city life, Alleppey promises you delightful rustic charms as you live in a houseboat on the water and watch the world float by.
A blend of traditional designs, and modern comforts, Kerala houseboats, locally called Kettu Vallam, promise you a delightful backwaters experience. Romantic, serene, and indulgent- the experience is simply out of the world! Enjoy the gorgeous scenery, indulge in local cuisine, drink fresh toddy, do some angling, and soak in the tranquil vibes of the backwaters.
A pristine beach with a century-old pier and a striking lighthouse-Alleppey Beach is a beach hopper's delight. Feel the sun on your face, frolic in the waters, or get an Ayurveda massage right on the beach. If you are looking for some action, you may climb up the lighthouse, go windsurfing, or takeover the skies as you go parasailing.
St. Mary Forane Church A perfect setting, right at the edge of the backwaters, this colonial-era church is much visited for its striking beauty, spectacular murals & frescos, and intriguing rock inscriptions.

Caper Travel designed a three week tour to Rajasthan and Goa for four of us in a private car during March. The driver, guides and everyone associated with the organisation were professional, reliable and punctual! We had an amazing time, made even better because of the good accomodation choices and extra additions, such as elephant and camel ride.
