Experience the backwaters with a
Complimentary Boat Ride and a Complimentary Picnic along the shoreline
Boating Area
If the trip is for 3 days ideally pairing a boat trip with your stay is worth the extra time and cost. Boat riding is a popular activity here that offers a unique way to explore the region’s local flavor and the historical relevance of the 1800 British-Mughal era. Ideal timing for boating is 6.30 am or 4.30 pm.
Sailing along the backwaters watch the sky turn blue to purple to pink, in quick succession and more alluring is the reflection of the colors on the sea, blurring out the line of horizon making the place appear like heaven.
With a ‘bird sanctuary island’ across the river, this place is home to a variety of sea birds, including egrets, storks, gulls, and pelicans, along with woodpeckers, Indian rollers, and flocks of seasonal birds, making it a bird watcher’s paradise.
Splashing droplets from the waves, flying swarms of birds, diving fish and verdant forest shores edging the Salt River make the ride enjoyable and worthwhile.
Mugadwaram
Reaching Mugadwaram (which is the mouth of the backwater river opening into the ocean) you can observe a narrow ribbon of extending sandbar between the placid backwaters on one side and the roaring ocean on the other in a single shot…. makes the sight truly divine and stunning to behold. Another view of significance while sailing is the ’Alampara fort ruins’, a tourist attraction. Adventurous ones can get down on to the shore to explore the historical relevance of the place. Walking on the shores of the sandbar, or the beach, after docking the boat, and getting drenched in the tender sunlight of dawn or dusk revitalizes us with D3, besides being therapeutic, one receives more joy than one seeks.
