Introduction to city Alappuzha - In Kerala
One of the exotic backwater locales of India’s southern
state of Kerala, the town of Alappuzha, or Alleppey as it
was called, is famous for its annual boat race that draws
thousands of tourists from all over the country and world.
Alappuzha is also the headquarters of Kerala’s coir industry
and an important place for cashew nut processing. The town
is bound by Kochi and Kanayannur in north; Vaikom, Kottayam,
Changanassery Thiruvalla, Kozhencherry and Adoor taluks
in east; Kannathur and Karunagappallyin in south and Lakshadweep
islands in its west.
The Portuguese were the predominant rulers of this place
before the Dutch took over. It was only during the reign
of Maharaja Marthandavarma that the town of Alappuzha became
a busy commercial place.
Alappuzha has a humid climate. The winters are relatively
more pleasant and ideal time to visit this place.
