About Us – Alleppey Shikara Club
🌴 Welcome to Alleppey Shikara Club
At Alleppey Shikara Club, we’re not just about boat rides — we’re about creating unforgettable backwater experiences.
We bring you closer to the real Alleppey — the calm canals, waving coconut trees, village life, and the warm smiles of the people who call these waters home.
Our story began with a simple idea:
“What if travelers could explore the Alleppey backwaters like a local — peacefully, privately, and without the tourist rush?”
That’s how the Alleppey Shikara Club was born.
🚤 Who We Are
We’re a team of passionate locals and certified guides who’ve spent our lives in and around these waters. From traditional boatmen to tourism professionals, every member of our crew shares one goal — to give you an authentic, safe, and soulful backwater journey.
Our operations are led by Rahul Raj, a Kerala Tourism–certified guide and licensed professional from the National Institute of Watersports, Goa. With years of experience running backwater tours and kayaking adventures, Rahul and his team know every canal, hidden village, and sunset spot worth showing you.

A Note from Rahul Raj
“I grew up watching these boats glide through the canals every day. Today, it’s my joy to share this experience with travelers from around the world — to help them slow down, breathe, and truly feel the magic of Alleppey’s backwaters.”
