Alapuzha-Venice of the East
With
the Arabian sea on the west and a vast network of lakes, lagoons and freshwater rivers criss crossing it, Alappuzha is a district
of immense natural beauty. Referred to as the Venice of the East by travellers from across the world, this 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 has grown in importance as a backwater tourist centre, attracting
several thousands of foreign tourists each year. Alappuzha is also famous for its boat races, houseboat holidays, beaches,
marine products and coir industry. A singular characteristic of this land is the region called Kuttanad. The rice bowl of
Kerala, Kuttanad is perhaps the only place in the world where farming is done below sea level.
