What to do and see in Alappuzha, Kerala: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

October 24, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Often compared to Venice due to its abundance of canals, Alappuzha is the gateway to the backwaters of Kerala. Rent a houseboat for an up-close view of the palm-lined waterways. In August, the snake-boat race is a remarkable festival—each traditional boat has a crew of over 100 local sailors.

I am 25 and from Texas, I've never been anywhere in Asia or "developing countries." I was anxious and wanted a safe and consistent driver to see Kerala for 5 days, Shameer was my drive and he was very sweet, always had bottled water, let me choose when I wanted AC or windows, and went out of his way to show me things I didn't even know to look for on the drive. I am so glad I had the peace of mind and highly recommend Shameer for your trip!

We visited Arthunkal Basilica on the way back from kumarakom vacation. It's an historic pilgrimage centre and one of the oldest churches in India. The main church and the one built in 1561 are both well maintained and open for public to pray. A must visit if you are in this area and definitely one to explore if you have an interest in Christian history in India

Ambalapuzha Sree Krishna Temple

Reviewed By abhinishv - Secunderabad, India

The temple is an old architectural splendor and is spread over a huge area with a large pond. The temple has two gates of entry the Eastern & Western Gate. The Western Gate has lot of shops & adequate parking. The temple is famous for the " Ambalapuzzha Palpayasam ( Rice Kheer/ Rice Pudding)", which is distributed at 12 noon. The Palpayasam needs to be pre-booked or if you are lucky you can stand in queue at 10:30 am and try and get it on the same day. The temple also has a elephant permanently inside the temple premises. It is believed that Sree Guruvayoor Appan ( Deity at Guruvayoor Temple) visits the temple every day noon for the "Ambalapuzzha Palpayasam". Please Note :- Due to the present COVID-19 situation, entry only through Western Gate is allowed. Children are though allowed inside the temple premises but entry into the main sanctum sanctorum.
