Kayaking in India splits between the Kerala backwaters and the coast. Alleppey runs guided village-canal paddles at sunrise, Goa has the Sal backwaters, the Cola beach lagoon and the Chapora mangroves, and the Mulki surf schools paddle the Shambhavi estuary when the surf is flat.
Season in India: October to May on the coast. The Kerala backwaters paddle all year, with the calmest, driest mornings from October to March.
