SHIKARA BOAT TIMING

AT YOUR CONVENIENCE

Shikara boat rides are in great demand now. They are a mixed version of the Alleppey houseboats and the Kashmiri boathouses. The Shikara boats are available from the morning 6:00 to 6:30  in the evening. Shikara boats are more convenient because they are rented out on an hourly basis. The tourists can decide when they need to go sightseeing and can choose between sunrise and sunset views. The main feature of a Shikara boat is that it can travel through very small canals that Houseboats cannot reach.

The Alleppey Shikaras can accommodate up to a maximum of 20 people. Shikara boats are revamped country boats and all 4 sides are open which lets the air in and lets you have a spectacular view. Some of the Shikaras also have attached bathrooms.
