The village canoeing stop was a beautiful local touch, and we even saw fishermen starting their day. The boat was clean, spacious, and very comfortable.

Our family booked the Day-out Shikara package with Alleppey Shikara Club, and it was an unforgettable experience.

It’s the best way to explore Alleppey slowly and comfortably. Don’t miss this if you love nature and culture together!

We booked the Shikara + Kayaking combo tour with Alleppey Shikara Club, and it exceeded our expectations! The shikara ride was peaceful, with plenty of time to click photos and enjoy village views.
