Alappuzha
The
Alappuzha area is a place that coaxes you to let your hair down. The canals
here form a web that serves the coir industry. There is nothing much here by
way of sightseeing, but if you plan your trip around the second Saturday of
August each year, you'll be in time for the Nehru Cup snakeboat race, an adrenaline-pumping
local event.
Low slung chundan vellams or snake boats are decorated and it is rowed by up
to 100 people. Alappuzha is known for its lazy cruises where you can float looking
at the palm trees reflected in the green cool waters.
