About Alleppey
Narrow backwater canals wind through palm groves where water and sky blur, silence broken only by the slap of water against boat hulls and the call of water birds. Houseboats with thatched roofs glide past villages of raised houses and fishing nets; fishermen cast Chinese nets from platforms. The Venice of the East's waterways are less crowded south of the main town.
