India Guide
Getting around
By boat
Apart from river ferries, few boat services run in India. The Andaman Islands are connected to Kolkata (Calcutta) and Chennai by boat – as well as to each other. Kerala has a regular passenger service with a number of services operating out of Alappuzha and Kollam, including the popular "backwater trip" between the two. The Sunderbans in the delta region to the south of Kolkata (Calcutta) is only accessible by boat.
