Nestled in the heart of Kerala State, India, lies the enchanting town of Alleppey, also known as Alappuzha.

The sun casts a warm golden glow over the scene, reflecting off the calm, mirror-like water. Steeped in history, Alleppey's waterways have been a vital part of the region's culture and economy for centuries. The town's strategic location on the Arabian Sea made it a significant trading hub during ancient times. Boats laden with spices, tea, and other precious commodities would travel along the canals, connecting Alleppey to the outside world.
