Boating in India

Escape from the bustling city streets to languid rivers and soak yourself in riverside villages, explore the sacred spots and ancient heritage. Dwell in the cacophony of sights as the nature captivates you and intrigues your senses. There is nothing more pleasing than enjoying the best boating tours in India. To wade along the water and take in the beauty of nature is absolutely priceless. There are many lakes in India where you can head, to enjoy such a ride. Enjoy a morning or afternoon on the water in a boat. The perfect way to catch some rays & sightsee the coasts and banks. Swim, snorkel or simply sit back & enjoy the beautiful views as your boat leisurely takes you around the calm or turbulent waters. India is blessed with abundant and beautiful water bodies from picturesque lakes in the mountains and lush greenery, wading and meandering rivers and a long coastline.

 

A boat cruise along its numerous water bodies is one of the best ways to explore the natural beauty of this bountiful country. The experience is rich and varied from the Shikara ride on the Dal Lake in Kashmir, motorboats on the Pangong Tso Lake, cruising along the Mangrove forests of the Sunderbans, navigating the marine waters on a sailboat and a houseboat cruise along the lazy backwaters of Kerala. Indeed, there is nothing more pleasurable than wading along waters and basking in the beauty of nature. Sailing and the best boating tours in India are a must try for all tourists visiting India to get closer at the culture and traditions of what India actually is abundant with.

I’ve never seen anything like this. The city transforms into a celebration of light during Dev Diwali, and the boat ride is the perfect way to experience it.
