Homestays & villas in Alleppey
Backwater homes and canal-side cottages in Alappuzha
Alleppey (Alappuzha) is Kerala's backwater country — a maze of canals, paddy fields and coconut groves around Vembanad Lake. Stay in a lakeside home or a heritage cottage, and see the backwaters by canoe instead of just from a houseboat deck.
