Visit kerala backwaters

Alleppey or Alappuzha, is the hub of Kerala's backwaters, home to a vast network of waterways and more than a thousand houseboats. Wandering around the small but chaotic city centre and bus-stand area, with its modest grid of canals, you'd be hard-pressed to agree with the 'Venice of the East' tag. But head west to the beach or in practically any other direction towards the backwaters and Alleppey becomes graceful and greenery-fringed, disappearing into a watery world of villages, punted canoes, toddy shops and, of course, houseboats. Float along and gaze over paddy fields of succulent green, curvaceous rice barges and village life along the banks. This is one of Kerala’s most mesmerisingly beautiful and relaxing experiences.

Best Time to Visit Kerala Backwaters

Best Time to Visit Backwaters (Alleppey) is during winter months of November to February. The weather is mild and pleasant. The average temperature during this time is between 17 degrees to 32 degrees Celsius. This is the perfect time to go on a houseboat ride and explore the Backwaters (Alleppey).

March to May: Summer months are usually hot and dry with the maximum temperature going up to 37 degrees Celsius. Since many tourists don’t visit Backwaters (Alleppey) during summer, this is a great time to enjoy Backwaters (Alleppey) minus the crowds and also get great deals on hotel rooms. Do remember to carry light cotton clothes and sunscreen along to avoid sun burn.

June to September: June marks the beginning of the monsoon season in Backwaters (Alleppey) and is a great time to enjoy this little town in its rain-washed glory. Even though houseboat rides are not available in the monsoon, this is a great time to sit back, relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Backwaters (Alleppey). Make sure you carry an umbrella or raincoat along as rain showers are frequent and heavy.
