2N/3D Nehru Trophy Boat Race Festival Tour

Immerse yourself in the electrifying atmosphere of Alleppey with our 2N/3D Nehru Trophy Boat Race Festival Tour, crafted around Kerala’s legendary snake boat spectacle on Punnamada Lake. Witness chundan vallam with hundred-plus rower crews, rhythmic vanchipattu songs, and vibrant local crowds. This 2N/3D Nehru Trophy Boat Race Festival Tour also lets you savour tranquil backwaters and relaxed lakeside time around race day.

Day 1: Kochi – Transfer to Alleppey & Backwater Setting

Meet our representative at Cochin International Airport or in Kochi and transfer to Alleppey, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road. Check in, ideally at a stay within reach of the race venue to avoid race-day traffic. Spend the afternoon easing into the backwater setting, a short canal cruise or the lakeside, and a briefing on how race day works, the chundan vallam (snake boats), the crews of a hundred-plus rowers, the singing that sets the rhythm, and the layout of the competition. Overnight in Alleppey.

Day 2: Alleppey – Snake Boat Race Day (Nehru Trophy)

The centrepiece. The Nehru Trophy is held on Punnamada Lake, chundan vallam over 100 feet long, crews rowing to the vanchipattu boat songs, and a stadium-and-shore crowd in the tens of thousands. Reach the venue early via pre-arranged access to beat the congestion, take your booked seating, and spend the day with the heats and the final. This is one of India’s great collective spectacles, raw, loud, and deeply local. Return to the stay in the evening as the crowds disperse. Overnight in Alleppey.

Day 3: Alleppey – Departure to Kochi

After a slow breakfast, transfer back to Kochi, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road, for onward departure. For clients with time, a Kumarakom or houseboat night pairs naturally to extend the backwater experience, worth flagging as an add-on.
