Beyond The Backwaters Of Kerala
The backwaters and beaches of Kerala are famous all over the world. But this one event of the Boat Race hosted in Kerala is often missed by many. The Aranmula Boat Race is not an average race as it has a history or the origin of the snake boats attached to it.
Held on the River Pampa, it is a visual treat to watch several boats dressed with ornaments with dozens of people leading them with immense energy. Each snake boat (also called as Chundan Vallams) is a team of the helmsman, 100 oarsmen and 25 singers. It is the vibes, energy and freshness of the event that leaves one with a pleasing feel. It is celebrated for two days starting on the last day of Onam. And with more days in hand (maximum 5-6 days), a backpacking trip to the Lord’s own Land can be accomplished. Known for its rich nature, the water waves, Churches, Dams and sanctuaries, the rest of these places can also be witnessed.
