Glide through the tranquil backwaters of Alleppey on a midday Shikara cruise, where nature’s beauty unfolds at a leisurely pace. As the boat gently moves through narrow canals and serene lakes, you’ll witness the timeless charm of Kerala’s lush landscapes, swaying coconut trees, and traditional village life. The midday sun casts a golden shimmer on the waters, creating a mesmerizing reflection of the vibrant surroundings. Unlike houseboats, Shikaras offer a more intimate experience, allowing you to explore hidden waterways and get closer to the rich flora and fauna that thrive in this ecosystem.
During the cruise, enjoy a delicious Kerala-style lunch served fresh on board, featuring local flavors like seafood, coconut-based curries, and aromatic rice. As you indulge in this culinary delight, you can soak in the peaceful ambiance, occasionally spotting kingfishers, herons, and other exotic birds. The gentle sound of rippling water and the rhythmic rowing of the boat create a soothing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding and connecting with nature. You may also get a chance to interact with the friendly locals, watching them engage in traditional fishing or coir-making along the shores. With the cool breeze complementing the midday warmth, the experience becomes a delightful blend of relaxation and cultural discovery.
