Alappuzha
(also known as Alleppey), India - The Backwaters of Kerala are one of the
biggest draws to Kerala, and before going, I had no idea why. After visiting, I
now know that the Backwaters are one of the reasons why Kerala is known as
“God’s Own Country.”
After
arriving in Alappuzha (Alleppey), we headed straight to the house-boat, a
luxurious floating house-boat on the Kerala backwaters. The boat was beautiful
with four full bedrooms, a full upper deck with dining room and viewing
platform, and most importantly, a huge kitchen with private chefs to cook us an
Indian seafood Kerala meal of your dreams! #IndianFood #Kerala #Backwaters
Ebbin had
arranged for a huge seafood meal on the boat. As soon as we started sailing on
the Backwaters, the amazing chefs started cooking. There were over a dozen
different dishes, seafood extravaganza. The meal was absolutely incredible, and
the scenery of the water, lakes, rivers, and lagoons, were spectacular.
For the rest
of the afternoon, we relaxed around the boat, and eventually docked for the
evening in a small village. For dinner we had a simple Kerala meal of rice
porridge, with a few different chutneys, and green gram, mung beans.
Sleeping on
the boat was fantastic, so quiet and peaceful, and it was a joy to wake up in
the morning ready to go again. For breakfast, they made one of the best egg
curries I’ve ever had in my life - one of the reasons I love Kerala so much,
curry for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Thank you to
Alleppey Houseboat (https://alleppeyhouseboat.in/) for giving us a great deal
on a house-boat, and for the amazing food and service. An incredible
experience, and truly God's Own Country!
