Step out from the city center towards any direction in Alappuzha and you are will be struck by the majestic greeneries all around. The graceful greenish hue lies over Alappuzha like a blanket evaporating into a mesmerizing world of quaint villages, cute canoes, colorful houseboats and of course, toddy shops. Float along the languid waterways and gaze at the peaceful rice fields. The romantic Alleppey provides you with an incomparable serenity in its landscape.
