Tradition of Alappuzha
With the Arabian Sea in the west and a
vast network of lakes, lagoons and fresh water rivers
crisscrossing it, Alappuzha is a district of immense natural beauty.
Referred to as the Venice of the East by travelers from across the
world, this backwater country is also home to diverse animal and
bird life. By virtue of its proximity to the sea, the town has always
enjoyed a unique place in the maritime history of Kerala. Today;
Alappuzha is an important backwater destination attracting several
thousand-foreign tourist every year. Alappuzha is also famous for
its boat races, beaches, marine products and coir and coir industry.
A singularity of this land is the region called kuttanad- a land
of lush paddy fields referred to as the Rice Bowl of Kerala and
one of the few places in the world where farming is done below sea
level.
