Alleppey Snake Boat Race

Kerala’s most traditional event, the snake boat race, takes place from August to October. Powered by 120 oarsmen, the long thin boats are cheered on by spectators who stand on the banks of Punnamada Lake. Of all the snake boat races, the Nehru Trophy Boat Race is the most popular.
