Members of my family have been residents of Alappuzha district for many generations.This website is my tribute to my home district which is the birth place of Vayalar Rama varma and Takazhi shiva sankaran pillai .It is my endevour to provide a comprehensive online resource on Alappuzha to visitors from all parts of the world.
All the information on this site has been collected first hand by me or taken from reliable secondary sources. To get an idea of what is available on the site please visit the 'site map ' link. I also assure that all information will be kept current and updated .
You can find beaches, hills, mountains, plains and rivers elsewhere but the backwaters and canals are unique to Alappuzha.Your itinerary in kerala will not be complete without a trip along the backwaters of Alappuzha. No wonder Lord Curzon called it the Venice of the East.
