The boat race in Kerala, known as Vallam Kali, is a traditional event held annually in the backwaters of Kerala, India. In 2025, the main races, such as the Nehru Trophy Boat Race, are typically scheduled during the monsoon season, often in August or September, but exact dates are announced closer to the event by local authorities. These races feature long snake boats called Chundan Vallams, crafted by local artisans using indigenous woods and techniques, showcasing Kerala\“s rich cultural heritage and skilled craftsmanship in boat building. |
