FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything you need to know before your shikara ride.
Is the shikara ride private?
Yes — you book the entire boat for your group. The captain and fuel are included in the price.
How is a shikara different from a houseboat?
A shikara is a small, open boat built for a few hours on the water. It slips into narrow village canals — some only about five feet wide — where houseboats cannot go.
Where does the ride start?
Rides depart from the Punnamada Finishing Point jetty in Alleppey.
When is the best time to go?
Late afternoon, around 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, for the sunset over Vembanad Lake.
