Alleppey is known as venice of the east for it's backwaters and floating boat houses. What you need to do in Alleppey is take a boat to the backwaters during sunset and reach to the middle of it and enjoy the view of sunsetting behind the water. Experience a night stay on a floating boat and let your body sooth in the middle of water surrounded by coconut trees.
