Kuttanad the Rice Bowl of Kerala

 

Kuttanad Stretches for 75 km sandwiched between the sea & the hills. The bewildering labyrinth of shimmering waterways composed of lakes, canals, rivers & rivulets, is lined with dense tropical greenery, and preserves rural Kerala life styles that are completely hidden from the road. The views change from narrow canals and dense vegetation to open vistas and dazzling green paddy fields

The sweeping Network of canals honey-combing the town of Alappuzha has earned for the place its sobriquet, "THE VENICE OF THE EAST". Do not miss out on a ride into Kuttanad through shimmering, green paddy fields and tail-waging, head-bobbing groups of ducks. The Coir workers too present an interesting sight. Alleppey becomes the cynosure of theeyas of the world on August-September, every year, a water regatta unique to Kerala.
