Workation in Alappuzha: the essentials
Canals dug in the late 18th century under Raja Kesavadas gave Alappuzha, also called Alleppey, its role as a trading port on the Laccadive Sea. Today it is the best-known starting point for houseboat trips into Kerala's backwaters, and the rice fields of Kuttanad, partly below sea level, begin just outside town. The town itself is an ordinary district centre of about 240,000, with a long beach, a lighthouse and the Nehru Trophy snake boat race on Punnamada Lake in August. For calm, look to the homestays along the canals. Trains run along the coast, Cochin International Airport is about 74 km away, and the June to September monsoon is heavy.
