🌿 Our Story
Alleppey Shikara Club was born on the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, where our founder, Rahul Raj, grew up surrounded by winding canals, coconut groves, and the timeless rhythm of village life. What began as a simple passion for showing travelers the hidden villages of Alleppey (Alappuzha) has evolved into a vision — to create backwater journeys that combine authentic Kerala traditions with modern comfort.
From private Shikara rides and traditional houseboat stays to kayaking, canoeing, and speedboat adventures, every experience we design brings you closer to the real soul of Alleppey. Our guests don’t just cruise — they connect with local culture, village life, and the natural beauty of Kerala’s waterways.
As we grow, we’re adding new ways to explore the backwaters — from parasailing above the canals to thrilling jet ski rides, ensuring travelers see Alleppey from fresh perspectives.
At Alleppey Shikara Club, our story isn’t just about boats. It’s about creating memories: a couple sharing a romantic sunset cruise, a family discovering narrow canals, or a traveler chasing adventure on the open lake. Every journey with us is a story you’ll carry home.
