Pallathuruthy

Pallathuruthy lies just outside the main Alappuzha urban area on the route towards Changanacherry and the Kuttanad interior. Kerala Tourism’s location directory places it about 3.5 km from Kalarcode, and tourism-development records have included Pallathuruthy among sites associated with houseboat-terminal infrastructure. That makes the settlement relevant both as a working waterside community and as part of Alappuzha’s visitor transport network.

The scenery is characterised by canals, moored boats, bridges, low-lying land and the gradual shift towards the paddy-and-water landscape of Kuttanad. Visitors may encounter houseboat operations, but should book only through legitimate providers and avoid assuming that every jetty or boat is open for public use. Pallathuruthy works well as a short backwater stop or as the starting context for a longer cruise, particularly for travellers who want to see how tourism and everyday water transport overlap near Alappuzha.
