The Nehru Trophy boat race, we can undoubtedly say which is the famous tourist attraction in Kerala. This race is usually conducted on the second Saturday of August for the memory of our Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
The first snake boat race was held in 1952 when the Prime Minister has visited Alleppey. He was so impressed and excited with the welcome and the boat race, so he donated a trophy. The race is continuing on ever since.
Around 70 boats usually participate and compete to win the race. This boat race is held at Punnamada Lake, Alleppey. Alappuzha is ready to welcome the 66th Nehru Trophy Snake Boat Race.
