arabian sea on the west and a vast network of lakes, lagoons and fresh water
rivers crisscrossing it, alappuzha is a district of immense natural beauty.

backwater country is also home to diverse animal and bird life. By virtue of
its proximity to the sea, the town has always enjoyed a unique place in the
maritime history of Kerala. Today, Alappuzha (Alleppey) has grown in importance
as a backwater tourist centre, & also famous for its boat races, houseboat
holidays, beaches, marine products and coir industry.
