Alleppey has become a favourite travel destination
of tourists visiting Kerala, who keep coming frequently to unwind on its sandy
beaches and amazing backwaters. It is called Alappuzha by locals, and this
region has plenty of attractions in store for tourists. The moment they step
into this fabulous tourist spot, lush green coconut palms can be seen all
around. Green farms and tiny villages have people engaged in various
activities, a sight which would make it seem as if being in a totally different
world.
