Alleppey

Famed globally as the “Venice of the East,” Alleppey (Alappuzha) is an enchanting network of tranquil canals, shimmering lagoons, and the expansive Vembanad Lake. Originally constructed as heavy cargo barges to transport rice and spices, the region’s iconic Kettuvallams have been transformed into floating eco-luxury sanctuaries. Sailing through Alleppey reveals a serene world of lush paddy fields cultivated below sea level in Kuttanad, quaint waterside villages, and coconut palms leaning gracefully over calm waters. Experiencing Alleppey with Lotus of India offers private luxury houseboats with dedicated chefs, scholar-guided canoe excursions through narrow village waterways, and exclusive luxury resort stays.
