Preserve Alleppey Society
Alleppey
Started by the ladies wing of the Lions Club of Alleppey in 2000, and later registered as a charitable society, members of its all-women team of 15 lead walking tours that include the Gujarati quarter, an old coir factory, an Anglican Church, markets and temples. Tours end with refreshments at one of their homes. The Society is now compiling a guide to Alleppey’s history, buildings and its local and migrant communities.
