🛶 Discover the Beauty of Vembanad Lake
A Shikara ride in Kumarakom is the best way to explore the magical beauty of Vembanad. As your boat moves slowly through narrow canals and open waters, you’ll witness local fishermen at work, migratory birds resting along the banks, and glimpses of life in the backwater villages. The water sparkles under the tropical sun, and the cool breeze makes every moment soothing.
🌿 Nature and Birdwatching Paradise
Vembanad Lake is home to countless species of fish, plants, and birds. If you’re lucky, you might spot kingfishers, cormorants, herons, and even Siberian storks visiting from distant lands. Nearby, the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary adds more magic to the experience, making it a paradise for nature lovers and photographers.
🌇 Sunset Moments You’ll Never Forget
Evenings on Vembanad are nothing short of breathtaking. As the sun sets, the sky tu
rns golden-orange, reflecting on the calm water like a painting. A sunset Shikara ride in Kumarakom is one of the most romantic and peaceful things you can do in Kerala.
💫 Why Choose a Shikara Boat Ride Over a Houseboat
While houseboats offer luxury, Shikaras bring you closer to the heart of local life. These traditional wooden boats can glide through narrow canals where big boats can’t go, giving you a more intimate view of Kumarakom’s backwaters. It’s quieter, more affordable, and perfect fo
r couples, families, or small groups.
