Restaurants in Alappuzha

Alappuzha is the gateway to Kerala's backwaters, a network of canals, rivers and lakes around Vembanad Lake. Houseboats, once rice barges, now carry travellers past villages, churches and coconut groves.

The Kuttanad region, where farmers grow rice below sea level, and the Nehru Trophy Boat Race on Punnamada Lake in August are the district's best-known sights.
