Boat-Races
Backwaters host many special events during August-September. The electrifying races by carved wooden boats set the backwaters on fire. The NEHRU TROPHY BOOT RACE, named in honour of the late Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, is the most exciting of all the boat-races. It is held on the second Saturday of August. During the ONAM festival, many boat-races, including the spectacular ARANMULA boat-race, are conducted in the ALAPPUZHA region.
The CHAMPAKULAM boat race is the first one during the season and has a tradition of centuries. The festivities include spectacular water floats, VANCHIPATTU – the song of the oarsmen and the most thrilling snake boat race.
