Alleppey Backwaters - History details

Alappuzha’s backwaters—dubbed the ‘Venice of the East’—form a maze of canals and Vembanad/Punnamada lakes, with Kuttanad’s below‑sea‑level paddy fields shaped by 19th–20th‑century reclamations. Geography: lagoons, coconut bund roads and island villages; houseboats (~1,200 fleet) ply classic routes. Interesting: Nehru Trophy Boat Race each August on Punnamada. Special dates: peak cruising Oct–Mar.
