A shikara ride is one of the most soothing, relaxing aspects of a holiday in Alleppey backwater. The 2-3 hour boat ride takes tourists on a relaxing sightseeing tour of interior parts of the calm and placid waters of Alappuzha lake. You can also access tourist spots like the Vembanad Lake, Paddy fields in Kuttanad, the Chavara Bhavan, and Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary via the Shikara as the Shikara canal route is quite central to these places in Alleppey.
