Travel Blogs from Alleppey, India
Alleppey
This is a top pick! Sunday July 13th Today I woke up late- some of the other students elected to go to a Catholic mass at the old church across the river, but being neither ecumenically minded nor an early riser (it started at 7:30) I elected to sleep ...
32 degrees - at 3am - God help us...
This is a top pick! ... the 32 degree heat. This didn't bode well for the temperature during the day! We boarded our first class train to Alleppey and joined a man spread eagled and deeply sleeping on one of the beds in our cabin, the journey was only an hour and ...
After a horrible night a lovely day
This is a top pick! We woke at 7:10am to get a taxi to the boat jetty to find a home for the next 3 days courtesy of Chris and Trish. After exploring about 4 boats and finding out prices etc we settled on our own Rice Barge and ended up agreeing a price which included as ...
Faulty towers
This is a top pick! We left Varkala and traveled by train in sleeper class, or poor mans class, two hours North to Alleppey. Alleppey is nicknamed the Venice of India by the Lonely Planet author due to its canals, but thats where the similarity ends. The LP author had ...
Not Much Happening Here..
This is a top pick! ... went on. We unfortunately didn't have time to stick around. Probably a great little place to stop at if you're going on a house boat but otherwise keep on going south or north and skip Alleppey. Next Pod - Cochin, India. Love, Nath and ...
Back Waters
This is a top pick! Today we take the train to Alleppey and nearly missed our station. Ben asked the ticket inspector if this was our stop he said no, then 60 seconds before the train was due to set off he decided it was and promptly threw us and our bags off while the train ...
Calming Kerala
This is a top pick! ... to the background of a somewhat sketchy version of Happy Birthday played by the house band. The following day we moved onto Alleppey (the setting for the book "God of Small Things") and hired a house-boat to cruise the famous Keralan backwaters. This ...
Memories of India & Backwater Pics of Kerala
This is a top pick! The 'mass of humanity' and the 'stink' were just a few of the scary words that I'd heard about India, before leaving Toronto. When we arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi back in mid-January it felt more like Toronto Island Airport than ...
Backwaters Tour
This is a top pick! After a quick train ride we arrived in Alleppey, the gateway to the Keralan Backwaters or as some call it the "Venice of the East"...which we didn't think to be true but it's still a chilled place and the Gowri Hotel was really comfy. We were glad to ...
Kerala's backwaters
... sausages and gulp a beer, a little strange for a supposedly Muslim republic. After reluctantly returning to India, a three hour train journey took us to Alleppey where we hired a houseboat that included a cook and two other crew members. A lazy day ...
Houseboat on The Backwaters from Alleppey
Right then, must be time for a bit of pampery spoiliness I think, so we booked an overnight trip on a houseboat. The boats are former rice barges with rattan covers and are very picturesque. All quite luxurious We have our own chef ...
The backwaters of Kerala
... 'how do we get two people, my giant rucksack and daypack on one bike without me toppling off the back?' but of course this is India where everything somehow just happens so the next I thing I know the wind is howling through my hair and we're racing at ...
Ahoy there me mateys
... up taking the house boat of the man who we had cake with on the first night here (such is normal life here in India). The house boat (or Kettuvallam) was wonderful and luxurious, and we floated around the Keralan backwaters for 2 & 1/2 days doing ...
Alapuzzha
... trip to the beach our next trip was to the town of Alleppey, the gateway to the Keralan backwaters. Alleppey is one of the major tourist towns in South India. The backwaters stretch some 900km and you can hire all types of boats to see them. ...
Backwaters - Canales

Alleppey and Backwaters, Kerala
A 2 hour train ride to Kottayam and then 5 hour tourist boat trip around backwaters. Final destination was ...
Costal drive to Alleppey
... us up at 9:30. It had rained all night and it was very wet with big puddles everywhere. Our destination was Alappuzha (Alleppey), about a 4 hour drive to the north. Our driver was probably in his early 20's and didn't speak any English or ...
Colonialism brought back to India
... to chai sellers shouting "Chai! Chai! Chai!" throughout the night as they walked up and down the carriages, we arrived in Alleppey. The Lonely Planet describes this town as "a pleasant market town built on canals and surrounded by coconut trees. ...
Not Just A Houseboat... A Love Boat!
... the total expanse of backwater stretches over 1500 kms, with a network of 44 rivers, lagoons and lakes from north to south. Alleppey which forms the main part of this network has the peculiar geographical feature of having the water in level with the ...
Backwater lazy days
... India is! Kollam was nice and we spent a great day doing a backwater canal tour in a canoe, before heading to Alleppey. Alleppey was one of our highlights in India, so far and we had a great few days a Johnsons guest house. Our "Eco-Room" was the size of ...
Tangerine trees and marmalade skies...
... to Kochin (or Cochin or Kochi or Cochi, whatever, will change as to who you ask) but, I did spend two nights in Alleppey (actually it was in Ambalappuzha- just south) on the Keralan backwaters. It was gorgeous- quiet, calm, strangely so, ...
What a difference some ghee makes
... brigade turned out to watch it being dragged from the river and revived on the bank. This says a lot about the nightlife in Alleppey and about how people feel about cows. I wonder what would have happened if it had been a horse? Also worthy of ...
Rural idyl
Another train journey but this time almost two hours in third class with no available seats! Just like commuting days in London. Staying at a lovely homestay called Sona with a friendly and helpful family. It's about 1km out of town. We're ...
Houseboat Palace
... of the local bus we took the 4 hr local ferry trip through some of the backwaters from Kottayam to Alleppey. Every so often a bridge or walkway across the backwater would be lifted manually by the the local people. The scenery was amazing, ...
The backwaters are that way...
... than the M1 and was, you guessed it, pretty relaxing. We thought that after our boating experience we should hang around in Alleppey for the night and see what happens on land. After a few hours we decided not that much, so headed to the local ...
Eight-legged Freaks
... I know that anything I come across in the UK with eight legs is going to get laughed at. The next day we headed up to Alleppey, entrance to the Backwaters of Kerala, where we were going to hire a house boat for 24 hours, which had been recommended by a ...
Blissful Backwaters
... End!! Together we had some wonderful adventures on the river in the 100 year old canoe. We entertained the local Alleppey neighbourhood with the fine technique of the "Snake boat" oarsman, the navigation and the preparation for adverse weather ...
