Vaikom-Tjavanakkadavu ferry connects two places, Vaikom and Pallipuram. Frequent boat service runs every 10 minutes in peak hours. This is mainly for people and you can board bicycles as well.Jankar service on same route carries all kinds of vehicles from bike to fully loaded larries(heavy vehicles).
The boat services from and to the Vaikom ferry terminal is nothing short of seamless transit via waterways.The ferry is just a stones throw from the Vaikom private bus stand, and approximately 200 metres away from the KSRTC stand.There is the availability of the Solar Ferry service named Adithya from the terminal which is equipped with the modern amenities in safety and water transport.Yet we can always expect a crowded transport experience on any given day of the week. This boat journey across the Vembanadu lake is a must take - if you are a photography enthusiast.
States most efficient inland water transport ferry. One side journey takes only 15 minutes. One Jankar is also available to ferry vehicles. Good and neat environment. An artificial beach and childrens park are available nearby.
I really enjoyed this ferry journey. Very good.
Vaikom – Thavanakkadavu boat ferry is one of the main attraction of this place. The boat service is available in every 10 minutes at just 4 rupees . The old boat jetty, built in an old custom style with unique beauty,is not used now.The main attraction in ferry is doves, which are unafraid to interact with people and they search for their foods. Click here for a small videoIndia’s first solar ferry is servicing in here.This place is a nice choice for spending your time…..

Good ferryNice equipment for getting in to boat and exitNice location
One of the best ferry in ernakulam districtAlways like to travel here
Decades old ferry service under KSWTD. The first solar-powered ferry in India named as Aditya started service between Vaikom and Thavanakkadavu, connecting Kottayam and Alappuzha districts on January 2017. The Vaikom boat jetty, which was used by the father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi to reach Vaikom for the Satyagraha has its history value too.
Nice one..Good service
Ferry service connecting vaikom and Thavanakkadavu of Alapuzha distinct. The state owned water transport Corporation operates boat service from morning 5.30 till 9pm. Boat service every 15 to 20 minutes gap available. One solar ferry service and many diesel boats are operating. The solar ferry is a very goo service. But the diesel boats are not clean and maintained properly. The boat landing centre is poorly maintained like many of the government organizations. But a boat ride through the vembanad lake is mind refreshing. A jangar service is also under operation to carry vehicles
Its ok for family evening . Vaikom Municipal park is next to Ferry service counter. Ferry service to connect alappuzha. Ferry service able to carry upto LMVs till 8.30pm.
Nice viewsGood experience
Boats are available throughout the day vaikom to thavanakadavu and back
A route joining Vaikom and Alapuzha.3 boat services, one jangar to transport cars and bikes, mostly crowd place. There is a park for children nearby and an artificial beach, but which is not a nice place to visit.
One Jangar to support for the transportation of Mini bus, traveller, car, auto, etc and 3 boat service
Good service..
Cheap Water Transportation facility
Currently only one jangar service is availableWhich makes travel time consuming.
Good
Vaikom Ferry is the cheapest and shortest way to travel from Vaikom to Cherthala and nearby areas. From here, service boats ply every ten to fifteen minutes. Aditya, Indias first solar boat service, also operates the terminal from here.The Jangar service for transporting vehicles, including lorries, to the other side is also available nearby.
Great ride Jangar
