Alleppey is located alongside the beautiful Laccadive Sea in Kerala and is not just another pretty place to visit. It is also where the life of India's backwaters can be seen at its best, where entire communities live and work in the residential canals.
“Here, life does not move on highways; it glides effortlessly along the waterways.”
Before modern transport redefined the coastline, these complex blackwater channels served as a significant lifeline for trade, timber, and spice transport across the region. Tucked deep within this landscape are the dense paddy fields of Kuttanad, one of the few places on Earth where farming is masterfully cultivated below sea level.
Today, the culture of the place is a nice mix of age-old customs and a peaceful way of life, as children row their canoes to school and people go to the other side of the river to conduct their fishing business. At the same time, houseboats (kettuvallams) float by gracefully.
