The unknown history of Kerala's Aleppo
The unknown history of Kerala's Aleppo
Coconut forest on both sides. Occasionally the house can be seen with gaps. There are small dinghy boats tied in front of those houses. Whether it is a market or a tea shop, the dinghy is the only way to go anywhere. Why Kerala's Aleppo is called the Venice of the East can be felt floating in the backwaters of Aleppo or a houseboat. Aleppo is a seaside town with huge backwaters and beaches.
Breakfast early in the morning from Thekkady and head out to Aleppo. When Aleppo arrives by noon, get on a hotel or houseboat and head out on a backwater trip with the prey. There are two ways to get around the Aleppo backwaters - by hunting or by houseboat. The cost of a houseboat trip is double the cost of hunting. However, the prey is also much larger. A group of ten to twelve people will become a victim. Hunting can be rented for a minimum of three hours at Rs 2,500 to Rs 3,000. If you can bargain, it can match up to 2000 rupees.
As I was walking along the waterway in such a hunt, I saw a housewife going to the market by boat in a house by the backwater. He said his ten-year-old son could also get on a great boat. The children are taught to ride a boat here before being taught to ride a bicycle. It is really difficult to do daily work if you don't know how to drive a boat.
The backwaters are like huge canals and narrow canals. Sometimes it feels like walking down an alley. There are waterways instead of just pitch roads. This is how your prey will anchor in front of a small restaurant while walking in the backwater. You can have lunch at that restaurant. And if you don't want that, there are special fried fish in Kerala. 200 to 250 rupees, but you will not find such fried fish in West Bengal. After eating fish fry, go hunting again and go around. The prey will go in the direction you tell the prey to go. As you go, you will see various types of houseboats floating. If you are in a houseboat, there is food available there. The view of this waterway can be enjoyed sitting on the balcony of the houseboat.
But don’t forget to take a stroll in the backwaters but go to the beach in Aleppo. In the afternoon go to see the sunset on the beach in Aleppo. In addition to hotels or homestays, there are plenty of houseboats in Aleppo. However, before boarding a houseboat, check the quality of the houseboat. There were also complaints about the infrastructure of relatively low-cost houseboats.
After spending one night in Aleppo, Kovalam went straight the next day. Take a look around Varkala Beach for an hour and a half along the beach. You can stay here. This remarkable beach is practically occupied by foreigners. You will be fascinated by the colors of the seawater here.
Kovalam went straight after seeing Varkala Beach. Thiruvananthapuram will be on the way to Kovalam. Kovalam is 16 km away from Thiruvananthapuram. So before going to Kovalam you can tour the city of Thiruvananthapuram. If you go to Thiruvananthapuram, you must visit Padmanabha Temple. However, it is not possible to enter this temple wearing pants or a solar shirt. Dhuti rent is available in front of the temple. The boys have to leave their pants and wear dhoti. If the girls are wearing salwar kameez or jeans, they should wear dhoti over the salwar or jeans. The price of a dhoti is only 60 rupees. Wherever you buy dhoti, a mobile phone, chati - everything can be deposited. However, entering the temple after doing so many things will not fail. The carvings and idols of the temple will fascinate you. The offerings of this temple are also quite fancy.
Come straight to Kovalam after visiting Padmanabha temple. Stay at Hawa Beach or Lighthouse Beach in Kovalam. Lighthouse Beach is ranked among the top 10 beaches in our country by several famous travel magazines. That is why the color of the Arabian Seawater can be understood. Such clear ocean waves are rare. Kovalam Beach is also almost occupied by foreigners. Must bathe at Kovalam Beach. However, the cost of food here is quite high. Go upstairs to the lighthouse at some point in the morning or afternoon. There is an elevator. From the top of the lighthouse, Kovalam Beach, and the vast sea on the horizon will catch your eye.
After spending the night in Kovalam, we got up in the morning, got up in the morning, and drove to Kanyakumari, just 65 km from Kovalam. After entering the state of Tamil Nadu from Kerala, coconut groves will fall on both sides of the road. After enjoying this view for two and a half hours, you will never know when you will reach Kanyakumari.
Vivekananda Rock is the main attraction of Kanyakumari at the end of the country. After buying a ticket, he got on the launch and reached the rock where Vivekananda's memory is entangled. If you want Vivekananda Rock, you can also meditate in the meditation room. In 1893, Swami Vivekananda meditated on this rock. The Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean merge in front of Vivekananda Rock. You have to be fascinated by the colors of these three oceans. Must see the sunset in Kanyakumari. You can stay here. If you stay one night in Kanyakumari, don't forget to get up in the morning and watch the sunrise.
