Alappuzha is an important tourist destination in India. The backwaters of Alappuzha are the most popular tourist attraction in Kerala. A houseboat cruise in these backwaters is a delightful experience.
Alappuzha is also called as Venice of the East. Alappuzha is also the access point for the annual Nehru trophy boat race, held on the Punnamada lake, near Alappuzha, on the second Saturday of August every year. 
Alleppey (Alappuzha) is a District of immense natural beauty in Kerala. Today, Alappuzha has grown in importance as a Backwater Tourist Centre, attracting several thousands of foreign tourists each year. 
Alleppey, also known as Allappuza is the land of inland canals, coconut palms and of typical Kerala tradition.  It is a very popular tourist spot of Kerala.
Alleppey  is a unique place on earth. The county is crisscrossed by natural water canals through which the sea water would come inland. 
The canals essentially created a set of islands which was lush green with paddy fields in the center and coconut trees lined up on the edges. If some islands are not so populated, it would be covered with trees and wild bushes.
    Alleppey is also famous for its below sea level farmlands like Kuttanad (‘granary of Kerala’)
The farmers there at Kuttanad prevented the flow of sea water to farmlands by creating mud bars and lagoon strip. These features make Alleppey one of the important tourist destinations in India. 
Kerala Houseboats in the Alleppey Backwaters are other major tourists attractions in Kerala. Government of Kerala has classified tourist houseboats as Platinum, Gold and Silver.
The best thing about Alappuzha and Kerala in general is the weather. Due to its proximity to the ocean it is more temperate than central India.The temperature rarely goes above 35 degrees Celsius and never below 20 degrees. The best time to visit is from September to March. Monsoon is always heavy. Now a day’s monsoon tourism is also popular from June to August.
For a total Alappuzha experience traverse the canals on small vallams (Boats) or anchor in the middle of the backwater lakes on a Kettuvallam (rice boat converted to cozy house boats) - spend the night under the star lit sky, listening to the splash of water on to the boat.
