Thanks for sharing this photo. I’ve resized it so we can have a better look. Could you tell us more about this interesting city? Is it all surrounded in water? Do you move with these boats?
If you have more photos, please share them, so we can have a better idea about this place. Do you live there or did you only visit?

Hello @DanniS
Alappuzha port was opened to foreign trade by the British in the late 18th century to end the commercial supremacy of the Dutch trading post at Porakad , 10 miles away. The city’s economy is based largely on the coconut. Coconut oil is milled there, and coir ropes, mats, and carpets are manufactured and exported. Black pepper is also produced. Sometimes referred to as the “Venice of India” because of its extensive canals and rivers, Alappuzha has a growing tourism industry. It has rail service, and a network of canals connects it to Thrissur to the north and to Thiruvananthapuram to the south. The anchorage, situated about 1 mile offshore, is protected by a mud bank.
