Why choose the Shikara + Speedboat Combo?
Get both sides of the backwaters in one trip. Spend the first part on a peaceful shikara through village canals and paddy fields, then switch to a speedboat for an adrenaline-filled ride across the open waters of Vembanad Lake.
It is a great pick for families with teenagers, friends’ groups and anyone short on time who wants to see as much as possible.
Shikara advantage: shikaras are small enough to enter the narrow, hidden canals of Kuttanad where large houseboats cannot reach — so you see village life, paddy fields below sea level and birdlife up close.
