  2. Alleppey is the best place for the tourist destination for the tourist to visit in the days of the holidays. I have once been to this place along with my one of my friend from Madurai in the month of the January last year. This was one of the nice experience which i have gained from the tour. The climate of this place is one of the most moderate and very much suitable to visit.
