Alappuzha lures you in with its rustic charm, as the mighty backwaters seem like a hair’s breadth away at every turn. Before entering the watery paradise, experience the Vijaya Beach Park, a favourite among locals and visitors alike. There’s a Children Park for kids to play and even ride a toy train. Enjoy the picturesque boat rides and protected trails where children can ride rented bikes. It is a wonderful place to relax before taking the plunge into the beautiful backwaters.
Constructed on the southern side of the Alappuzha backwaters, Vijay Beach Park is a wonderful initiative by the state government. The park is an ideal picnic spot for kids and adults alike. Other than the umpteen swings and slides available for the kids to play on, there are numerous thrilling rides for the grown-ups.
