A Shikara offers seating capacity for four men to twenty men. It is truly meant for cruising remote Alleppey back water villages which are not accessible by huge vessels. One can enjoy , terribly we mean it , shallow water cruise which call to mind the Amazon deep forest canals and would be a feather touch for one’s bleeding heart by the ogling and hectic humanity as it allows a very close sight to the back waters , you can even dip your hand into the cool wonderful liquid what we call water, the back waters of Alappuzha in a shikara is quiet worthy. In a shikara you can closely watch the rustic lifestyle of back water villages absolutely genuine in its class.
