A Shikara boat in Alleppey is a traditional wooden vessel commonly used for transportation in the picturesque backwaters of Kerala, India. Unlike the larger houseboats, Shikaras are smaller, allowing for a more intimate experience as they navigate through narrow waterways. These boats are often adorned with vibrant colors and intricate designs, providing a charming and authentic glimpse into the local culture. Shikara rides offer a serene journey, showcasing the natural beauty of the backwaters, lush landscapes, and glimpses of daily life in the villages along the water's edge.
