Alleppey, also known as Alappuzha is often called as "Venice of east" because of its numerous waterways. These huge networks of lagoons, canals, and lakes provide the lifeline of Alleppey. It was founded in 1762 by Divan of Travanacore, Raja Keshawadasan. With so much water in the area, native children learn how to use a boat at a very young age.

Alleppey was amongst the busiest trade centers and it had an excellent port along Malabar Coast. Traders from across the world came searching for souvenirs and black gold. This all was after the British established it as a trade port in the late 18th century to counteract one that was established by the Dutch. Today, Alleppey is still the center for prawn farming and Coir carpet industries.

This town was established on a narrow land spit between Arabian Sea and Vembanad Lake. Thanks to mud walls that have been built, amongst the few places where farming is done below sea level, Alleppey is one. Paddy fields are plentiful in the area thanks to the manmade islands created by the mud walls. Excellent rice wine is created right here

Numerous tourists come to Alleppey to enjoy the impressive natural beauty that can be seen there. It is a popular honeymoon destination, a terrific location to see bird and animal life, and a place to see many exotic sites of religious and historic importance. Beaches, houseboat holidays, and boat races also lure tourists to this destination.
