Do I need special clothing for a shikara ride in summer?
Nothing special, ordinary summer clothing is fine, though evenings on the water can feel a little cooler than on land, so a light layer is worth having if you plan a sunset ride. Closed shoes or sandals with a back strap are more practical than loose flip flops when stepping in and out of the boat.
