alappuzha

Alappuzha is also known as the Venice of East due to its several waterways that form an intricate channel of lagoons, lakes and canals. The place is a utopia for nature lovers due to its pristine scenic beauty, alluring backwaters, paddy fields, rich avian fauna and (of course) picturesque beaches lined with dense coconut and pine trees. But there is more to Alleppy than just splendid natural beauty. It has several religious historic attractions like churches and museums, which reflect the rich past of this wonderful place. It is also a major trade center mainly for coir carpet, rubber factories and prawn farming industries.
