The town Alleppey was founded by Raja Keshawadasan, Divan of
Travanacore in 1762. With the Arabian sea on the west and a vast
network of lakes, lagoons and fresh water rivers crisscrossing
it, alappuzha is a district of immense natural beauty. Referred
to as the venice of the east by travellers from across the
world, this backwater country is also home to diverse animal and
bird life.
