Alleppey & Kumarakom – Kerala's Twin Jewels of the Backwaters
Drift into calm and enchantment as you wander through Alleppey and Kumarakom, Kerala's most famous backwater jewels. Combined, they provide an idyllic retreat of palm-lined canals, mirror-like lagoons, ancestral houseboats, and a rich rural existence set amidst the tranquil beat of slow travel. In Alleppey, the "Venice of the East," board a hand-built houseboat and float down serene waterways, by paddy fields of emerald green and village streets of old-world charm. Observe life going on along the shore children waving from the banks, fishermen netting the waters, and temples under coconut trees. It's not only a journey it's Kerala in motion. A short drive from that, Kumarakom provides a quieter, more secluded backwater experience. Along the Vembanad Lake, it's a bird lover's haven particularly at the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, where migratory birds from all over the world nest. Luxury resorts, Ayurvedic spas, and canoe rides along the narrow canals make it perfect for honeymoons, family vacations, or quiet singles' retreats. Whether you opt for Alleppey's colorful waterways or Kumarakom's relaxed beauty or both you're in for an eternity-long experience of Kerala's magic of water-world.
