Alappuzha's Unmissable Backwaters and Culture

Alappuzha's landscape is defined by the vast Vembanad Lake and a network of canals that serve as the region's primary transport arteries. This selection features the 17th-century Ambalapuzha Sree Krishna Temple, famous for its traditional Kerala architecture, and the historic 1862 Alleppey Lighthouse. The list also highlights key transit hubs like the Muhamma and Alappuzha boat jetties, which connect the town to Kumarakom, and the Punnamada Lake finishing point, the site of the annual Nehru Trophy snake boat race.
