BACK WATERS OF ALAPPUZHA Backwaters have always been a
tourist attraction in Alappuzha .A one week stay in house boats may cost
you dearly but once you are into it you appreciate the cost. Cool nights
in the house boats is ideal for romance ,chat and enjoyment. Couples can
have very pleasant and private time here. Looking into the darkness lighted
by blue moonlit is a refreshing experience. A few may get some new insights
about themselves but mostly everyone will have some thing to talk in this
atmosphere. A cool breeze pampers you as the boat men take you for a tour
of the lake. We can see houses on small islands and natives rowing small
boats during day time.
Prime Minister Nehru came to see a snake boat race in Alapauzha and was so impressed that he
sent Trophy for the race and since then this race is a major tourist attraction every year.
Snake boats called Chundanvallams by natives are very prestigious possessions in here. People
group under the banner of there own locality names, make teams and row these huge boats in during
the race. The competition is so intense that this leads to many heart breaks after the event.Back waters are the major asset God has given to this part the world .Besides tourism the natives have coconut and paddy cultivations as a major source of revenue. ![]() ADD THIS TO YOUR SOCIAL BOOKMARKS
