The Champakkulam Boat Race, the oldest Snake Boat Race in Kerala, marks the grand opening of the state\u2019s annual boat race season. Held on the Pampa River in Champakkulam, a picturesque village in the Alappuzha district, this iconic event usually takes place in June or July, drawing massive crowds of spectators and enthusiasts. The thrilling sight of colossal Chundan Vallams (snake boats) slicing through the water, propelled by synchronized rowing and the rhythmic beats of ancient boat songs, creates an electrifying atmosphere. As the first major race of the season, Champakkulam Moolam Vallamkali sets the tone for the months-long boat racing fervor that follows across Kerala\u2019s backwaters.<\/p>\n
